| Description: | Mr. Delargy declares that the clause in question (Clause 1 (1), paragraph b), which he sees as gratuitously hostile, is entirely unnecessary, and radically changes the government's policy on Irish unity; he says the government have always claimed to be neutral, but are now taking sides for the first time in the quarrel over partition. |
