Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

I am not going to repeat anything I have said, because what I have said is clearly on the record. One would be stupid not to note the annoyance—although I would probably put it stronger than that if I were outside Parliament—of noble Lords at some of the issues they have given examples of today. They have not come with thoughts, feeling and hunches; they are obviously quoting from reports on specific cases. As I said, I will ensure that the Secretary of State is aware of that. We had not planned for this with this legislation; we are dealing with the extended powers of the Human Rights Commission. The noble Lord, Lord Trimble, was quite right: what might work for one body might not necessarily work for another. However, the general point of principle, which I have made both in this debate and in response to the noble Baroness in the other one, is extremely valued.
