Debate between Baroness Clark of Kilwinning and Naomi Long

Tuesday 9th July 2013 Commons Chamber

[Naomi Long]

I think—

[The Temporary Chair (Katy Clark)]

Order. I remind all hon. Members that this is a summing up at the end of a debate. We are not commencing the debate again and it is not a second speech, so I ask the hon. Lady to take that on board.

[Naomi Long]

Indeed. I was on my last sentence when I took the intervention.

I believe that the exclusion of Members of the House of Lords, the Seanad and the European Parliament from sitting in the Northern Ireland Assembly is an important point. Having listened to what the Minister said, I do not accept that there is a strong argument for maintaining the current position and I seek to press amendment 10.

Question put, That the amendment be made.
