When I took my seat in the House in January 1996, I had the great pleasure of sharing these Benches with Hugh Cudlipp. One suggestion that I have most resented in the speeches during the passage of the Bill is that I, and others, are against the freedom of the press.

The noble Lord appears to be making a Second Reading speech. Would he kindly pay attention to the amendment on the Order Paper?

The noble Lord speaking for the Opposition held the office of Secretary of State for Northern Ireland with distinction. He knows that during all that time he never shared joint authority. Will he comment on why an amendment may be carried by a number of his noble friends that will, for the first time, enshrine in legislation—this is the proposal—that we change the policy, which has been agreed between parties during all these years, that we do not have joint authority in Northern Ireland?
