Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 June 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL].

Before we move on, because these matters are important, there is a report, I think in today’s newspapers, about the reduction in the number of days on which the union flag will be flown officially in Northern Ireland—albeit it appears to be related to a general reduction across the United Kingdom, so Northern Ireland would be in line with the rest of the UK. Can the Minister comment on whether this report is correct—that there will be a number of official days removed from the calendar for the whole of the United Kingdom?
