Northern Ireland Bill (Allocation of Time)

Again, I say to the hon. Gentleman that we are not just talking about frivolous removal. We could be talking about removal for very good reason. It might be a substantial political issue that commanded broad public support, as these situations often can, on a day-to-day basis. He says, "Would not be removed, would not be removed, would not be removed", but I say "could". From the point of view of the Minister’s position in the Assembly, that is unacceptable, because it is not a stable position.
