Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 October 2022. It occurred during Speaker's statement and Debate on bills on Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [Lords].

Does my hon. Friend accept that the hon. Gentleman has actually got it wrong? It is not one quango, but three quangos. There will be a commissioner for Irish language, a commissioner for Ulster Scots, and the office of identity and cultural expression. This will be a costly exercise.
