Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024
Debate
Movement of Goods (Northern Ireland to Great Britain) (Animals, Feed and Food, Plant Health etc.) (Transitory Provision and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2024Contribution
That is sad for the democratic process in Northern Ireland—to be preached at for 50 years about how there would be no more majority rule and then all of a sudden they do what needs to be done to get what they want and have their way. It is terrible and it is wrong. It is deliberately designed to drive a coach and horses through the cross-community consent principle, which has been the bedrock of all political progress in Northern Ireland and a success.
