Other Questions: National Archives (6 Mar 2014)

Other Questions: National Archives (6 Mar 2014)

Michael Creed: I thank the Minister for his outline of the position and the dangers that are imminent if we do not implement change. While I welcome the establishment of the working group, it seems a little unwieldy. This is a no brainer, requiring only a simple amendment to the National Archives Act, 1986.

Other Questions: Special Protection Areas Designation (6 Mar 2014)

Michael Creed: This issue is a stain on the Minister's Department and on the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. They are a relatively small number of farmers but they have rights.

They are locked out of a compensation system that others are getting. That is the...

Gateway Scheme: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (12 Mar 2014)
