Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Caine (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 July 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL].

The noble Lord is correct to say that NDNA sets out the functions of the commissioner and then expands to set out the remit, which includes the areas to which he just referred. In our view, the Bill as drafted, in replicating the functions of the commissioner as set out in NDNA, means it is not necessary also to include the remit within the functions—the functions will cover the remit.
