I am pleased to support the amendment moved by the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey. I think that some people perhaps thought that, after a while, the people of Northern Ireland would submit to the indignity of having laws made for us by a foreign, and sometimes hostile, Parliament in which we are not represented and that after a while we would all get round to accepting it and sitting down and getting on with our life. But I want to tell the House today, as clearly as I can say it, that that just will not happen, and the sooner the Government catches that on, the sooner progress will be made.
