§ 18. Mr. Molyneauxasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will place in the Library a copy of his speech delivered in Boston on 25 October.
§ Mr. PriorAlthough I gave two short addresses in Boston on 25 October I spoke informally and without a text. I have, however, arranged for texts of the speeches that I made in San Francisco on 26 October and in Los Angeles on 28 October to be placed in the Library.
§ Mr. MolyneauxMay I express satisfaction over the Secretary of State's co-operation in placing in the Library the fair and balanced speech that he made in San Francisco? May I ask him to commend through the Northern Ireland Office the text of that balanced and realistic speech to those who will be studying these matters in months to come on the basis that it forms a much more realistic approach than many of the documents that are currently being circulated?
§ Mr. PriorWithout in any way accepting the blandishments of the right hon. Gentleman, may I say that I hope he will read the whole speech and not just the little bits that he likes.
§ Mr. AdleyI fully share my right hon. Friend's disgust at the recent court events of which he spoke earlier. May I remind him of my questions to him a year or more ago about the discussions with the American Government on attempting to unify the procedures for extradition and the criteria used in British and American courts——
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. The question is about the Secretary of State's speech.
