David Norris (Independent)

I do not propose to press the amendment or say any more about it. I do not speak on this issue very often because I have done so in the past. Like everywhere else, 90% of the people in the constituency I represent are not homosexual. While it is important to consider many other issues, as I have consistently done, there are circumstances when it is necessary to discuss this issue. If we spent the entire afternoon discussing this one amendment it would distort our responsibility towards this legislation.
