| + 3 | POLICE (NORTHERN IRELAND) BILL: Second Reading. [Until 10.00 p.m.]
|
| Mr Kevin McNamara
Maria Fyfe
Mr John McDonnell
Dr Norman A. Godman
Mr Jeremy Corbyn
Mr Tony Benn
|
| That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Police (Northern Ireland) Bill because it believes the Bill does not provide for full democratic accountability, will not lead to the creation of a police service capable of attracting and sustaining support from the community as a whole, fails to reflect the determinations of the Patten Commission, thus not fulfilling the Good Friday Agreement commitment to provide a new beginning to policing in Northern Ireland, does not recognise full and equal legitimacy and worth of the identities, senses of allegiance and ethos of all sections of the community in Northern Ireland and does not give adequate recognition to the role of human rights protection in informing the ethos of the new service.
|
| Mr William Hague
Mr Andrew MacKay
Mr John M. Taylor
Mr James Cran
Mr Patrick McLoughlin
Mr James Arbuthnot
|
| That this House declines to give the Police (Northern Ireland) Bill a Second Reading as it fails to preserve the proud title and insignia of the Royal Ulster Constabulary; enables the political representatives of paramilitary organisations to sit on the Policing Board and District Policing Partnerships without a start to the decommissioning of illegally-held arms and explosives; provides inadequate safeguards against people convicted of terrorist offences serving on the Policing Board or the District Policing Partnerships; and threatens significantly to increase the politicisation of policing in Northern Ireland.
|
| Debate may continue until 10.00 p.m.
|
| + 4 | POLICE (NORTHERN IRELAND) BILL [MONEY]: Queen's Recommendation signified. [No debate]
|
| Mr Stephen Timms

| That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the Police (Northern Ireland) Bill, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament of—
|
| (a) any expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State under the Act; and
|
| (b) any increase attributable to the Act in the sums payable out of money so provided under any other enactment.
|
| To be decided without debate (Standing Order No. 52(1)(a)).
|
| + 5 | WELSH GRAND COMMITTEE [No debate]

Mr Secretary Murphy
|
| That the Welsh Grand Committee shall meet on Tuesday 20th June at half-past Ten o'clock and between Four o'clock and Six o'clock at Westminster to take questions under Standing Order No. 103 (Welsh Grand Committee (questions for oral answer)), and to consider the matter of Social Exclusion in Wales, under Standing Order No. 107 (Welsh Grand Committee (matters relating exclusively to Wales)).
