Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jul 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I am glad you are disappointed in me and that you do not see me as responsible because that is a good measure of it. Now we can get on to the Bill after that intervention. I support that this Bill aims to give further support to those settled here under the temporary protection directive but one would have to ask why the Bill is urgently needed to come in the week before the adjournment...

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jul 2022)

Thomas Pringle: Fair play to you. Thanks for giving me the direction. One would wonder why that is. None of these provisions is new or newly foisted on the Government. The issues addressed in this have been around for a long time, since the Ukrainian crisis arose. The Stardust issues, unfortunately, have been around for an awful lot longer. This Bill could have been introduced in a timely fashion and...

The fact that only two hours are scheduled for Committee and Remaining Stages tomorrow is not...

Thomas Pringle: We have just seen the vote which allows the Government's belligerent planning of the week's business. When I cast a clinical eye over the Government's legislative programme, I am drawn to the incoherence at the heart of it. It is casual and haphazard, at best. At worst, it is cynical and callous and this is more likely the deliberate intent. Despite the pleas given voice in here by the...
