Rev. Ian Paisley: The Minister has said that he is answerable to this House and, therefore, for its decisions. What would he say if a majority of Tories, rather than a majority of his own party, was required to keep him in office?
Mr. Murphy: I should be a very lucky man.
Mr. MacKay: On behalf of the Opposition, I cannot guarantee that we would keep the Minister in office, much as we admire him.
I have listened carefully to the Minister's very reasonable response, but I regret to say that I am still convinced that we would be right to press our amendment to the vote. The Prime Minister clarified the agreement on the Floor of the House on 6 May and subsequently in his Balmoral speech. Our amendments are within the scope of the agreement. They would strengthen the working of the Assembly. Given a backgroundof violence, punishment beatings and--so far--no co-operation with the decommissioning commission, it is in the interests of the House and of the Assembly that the amendments are agreed.
Question put, That the amendment be made:--
The Committee divided: Ayes 144, Noes 272.
Tellers for the Ayes:
Tellers for the Noes:
Question accordingly negatived.
It being after Seven o'clock, The First Deputy Chairman proceeded to put the Question necessary to dispose of proceedings to be concluded at that hour.
