Text
The Member has raised good relations and has mentioned the money that has been, as he says, "poured into" it. May I ask, genuinely out of interest, given some of the remarks by his party leader over the past couple of days, including the use of the word "sanitise" and things like that — for many people, that was a deeply obnoxious and offensive thing to say — whether his party genuinely believes in good relations? Does he think that there should be a good relations strategy and good relations funding? I am genuinely interested.
