Northern Ireland Bill

Lord Dunlop responds to the debate for the government by thanking all peers who have taken part for the "quality and wealth of experience that has been brought to bear".
The minister finishes his remarks by saying that the bill has the support of the Northern Ireland executive and assembly and "plays a significant part in all our efforts to support a stable and workable devolution settlement in Northern Ireland".

Labour Northern Ireland Spokesman Lord McAvoy says this bill gives Northern Ireland the tools to address outstanding issues between communities and political parties over legacies and the past.
The Labour peer says that the minister, all political parties in Northern Ireland and the government of the Republic of Ireland deserve "huge credit" for achieving the fresh start agreement that he says "prevented a collapse of devolution".
Lord McAvoy also says that victims and survivors must be at the heart of any future agreement.

Liberal Democrat Lord Alderdice joins other peers in thanking the minister Lord Dunlop for his work on the bill.
Lord Alderdice says "this agreement was more truly the product of engagement of political parties in Northern Ireland - and particularly the two largest parties, than most other agreements".
He says this is a "very positive" indication.
Lord Alderdice does also say that the Colombian peace process shows where "we could have done it better" in the Northern Ireland peace process. He says that dealing with paramilitary groups as legitimate organisations rather than dealing with broad community interests helped continue the influence of the paramilitaries.

Crossbench peer Lord Bew says that we should not forget where the political situation was in late autumn last year before this agreement, when it looked like a solution would not be reached.
Lord Bew joins others in welcoming the formation of the Independent Reporting Commission on tackling paramilitary activity.
He does raise a "small issue" that he has with the new organisation, saying it is "so typical of Northern Ireland that other governments foot the bill - I think it's a bad habit".

The former Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, Lord Eames, says that the debate tonight brings to his mind a quote from the Queen: "Progress will be defined as being able to bow to the past but not be bound by it."
He joins Lord Empey in raising the issue of the "sinister new paramilitary threat" in Northern Ireland, describing a situation today where "young people are growing up in these ghetto areas surrounded by peace walls and the remnants of history".
"I have buried the victims of the violence and I have consoled the families," he says, and calls on the government to address the threat of renewed paramilitary activity and recruitment.

Transport Minister Andrew Jones says the Northern transport strategy, external policy paper is "laying the foundation for transformative infrastructure projects across the north of England".
This includes improved road and rail links, he says.

Ulster Unionist peer Lord Empey says that he welcomes the Independent Reporting Commission as he feels it fills a gap that was opened by recent paramilitary murders.
"We didn't have a mechanism to shine a light on that," he says.
"The paramilitaries are rampant" in Northern Ireland, especially in inner city areas, he claims.
"Only by making politics work for people in those communities will we break the link with the paramilitaries."
Lord Empey says he has "little faith" in pledges made by some in Northern Ireland as he says he believes that for them, pledges are "water off a duck's back".
He adds: "While there are many measures in this bill that are to be welcomed I am disappointed to see that some issues are missing altogether."

Labour's Angela Smith opens the short debate on road and rail links connecting Sheffield and Manchester.
"Some of us have been campaigning for years for a new rail route across the Pennines," the MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge says.
She notes that the proposed HS2 high speed rail line would link to Leeds, meaning "a route that crosses the Pennines" and connects to South Yorkshire is also needed.

Former Labour Northern Ireland Secretary Lord Murphy of Torfaen says he remembers one of the American negotiators at the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 saying that it was the "beginning and not the end of progress in Northern Ireland".
He tells peers: "When I look back over the last 18 years at the many agreements that have been made - I don't think there is anything wrong with that."
Of his time as a Welsh MP and a minister and then secretary of state in Northern Ireland, he says: "I had no right ruling that place."
Lord Murphy adds: "I felt uneasy all the time that I was making decisions for people who should have been making those decisions themselves."
Direct rule was "infinitely and badly wrong", he says.

Labour MP Andy Slaughter highlights the redevelopment of Earls Court in west London as an example of a bad project involving Transport for London land.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson approved plans for a 77-acre redevelopment in Earls Court and West Kensington in 2013, including the demolition of the Earls Court exhibition centre.
Mr Slaughter says anyone visiting the sight can see "the huge disruption to a whole neighbourhood of London".
He adds: "TfL has no control over this any more as it's now just a sleeping partner."
