Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

Moved by

Baroness Goudie

1: Clause 1, page 1, line 15, leave out “takes account of the sensitivities of those with different national and cultural identities” and insert “respects the rights of others”

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment would substitute the qualification on the National and Cultural identity principles relating to the principle that everyone in Northern Ireland is free to express and celebrate that identity. The amendment would substitute the current limitation that this principle be subordinate to the “sensitivities” of persons with alternate national and cultural identity, with a limitation grounded in respect for the rights of others.
