Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Northern Ireland Assembly Members Bill [HL].

Northern Ireland Assembly Members Bill [HL]

My Lords, before the noble Baroness sits down, I think that she slightly misunderstood what I am attempting to do. Under my amendment, the Assembly would still have the power to set up the independent body. Therefore, it would have the power to make its own arrangements, but we are asking it to do that quicker than I think would otherwise be the case. It will have to be done by law but it will be done by the Assembly, not Westminster.
