Commons ChamberMay I just gently point out to the House that we have a lot of questions to get through and we need to speed up?
2. What the geographical remit will be of the recently announced panel to discuss parading disputes in Northern Ireland.
The proposal I announced on 7 October relates to disputed parades in the Twaddell and Ardoyne area of north Belfast, responding to the call by the Parades Commission for a wider, more structured process to address the issues around parades in the area.
I thank the Secretary of State for that clarification, but does she agree that resolution also needs to be found to the dispute in Drumcree in my constituency, which has been ongoing for the past 16 years?
