Northern Ireland Bill (Allocation of Time)

I support the Bill, but I also support allowing more time to discuss it. The critical feature for me, my colleagues and the whole unionist community is the issue of confidence before policing and justice powers are devolved. Does it grow confidence to deal with this Bill in the constitutionally tacky way proposed today? The Government’s approach will reduce confidence among the unionist community, because it will probably cause many of the good proposals in the Bill to go unreported.
