The Prime Minister
No. What I knew was that security clearance had been given by the Foreign Office, in the way that I have set out to the House.
Sorcha Eastwood (Lagan Valley) (Alliance)
My constituents in Lagan Valley, and others across the Northern Ireland and throughout the UK, will be disgusted that we have spent such an amount of time discussing this issue, when it should have been put to the fore the first time it appeared in the press. Does the Prime Minister understand that every time we do this and go through this, we destroy the reputation of this place, no matter who is in the Government of the day? His party does not even stand for election in my neck of the woods, so this is not party political. It is about protecting the reputation of this place. Does the Prime Minister understand?
The Prime Minister
That is why I wanted to give the House all the relevant information, which I have given at some length this afternoon.
