Text

I thank the Member for giving way. I congratulate her, because, through her remarks and her intervention, she has teased out and exposed what the Alliance Party wants to do here. The Member who intervened said that, if people in her constituency have a problem with flags, she sends them to the UUP or the DUP. Not once were Sinn Féin or the SDLP mentioned, so we can see clearly where the Bill is going and which side of the community is going to be affected.
