Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008

My Lords, I thank everyone who has contributed to the debate. It is not my intention to respond to everything that has been said. I will simply say that the House has an opportunity tonight to give a voice to the people of Northern Ireland on an issue to which more than 70 per cent of them are opposed. I wish to test the opinion of the House. On Question, Whether the said amendment shall be agreed to? Their Lordships divided: Contents, 66; Not-Contents, 146. On Question, Motion agreed to.
