§ Rev. Ian PaisleyI beg to move amendment No. 93, in clause 28, page 14, leave out lines 32 to 34.
§ The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means (Mr. Michael J. Martin)With this, it will be convenient to discuss amendment No. 21, in page 14, leave out lines 38 to 41.
§ Rev. Ian PaisleyThe amendment deals with an interest that Northern Ireland and its people expressly have, in that Ministers of the Crown, as they may well be called under the new system, may also be nominated by the Prime Minister of the Irish Republic and take their seats in the Senate of the Irish Republic. It is not consistent that a Minister of the Crown in one part of the United Kingdom should take a seat in the Senate.
§ It being Eleven o'clock, THE FIRST DEPUTY CHAIRMAN interrupted the proceedings, pursuant to Standing Order No. 11 (Friday sittings).
