Members observed two minutes’ silence.
Private Members’ Business
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
Madam Speaker: Item 2 on the Order Paper is the motion relating to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. One amendment has been selected and published on the Marshalled List. Before the debate begins, I wish to remind Members that I will, as usual, expect them to address their remarks to the motion and the amendment as they appear on the Order Paper and the Marshalled List.
It was agreed by the Business Committee that the House may sit until 6.00 pm. I want to draw the attention of Members to the provisions of Standing Order 11, which relate to “irrelevance or tedious repetition” in speeches.

At a civil rights march in Derry on October 5, 1968, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) viciously attacked non-violent demonstrators. No one was killed, but many were injured and hospitalized. What followed in the wake of that march shaped Northern Ireland.
The civil rights movement expanded its numbers and grew in strength. The movement was countered by the Reverend Ian Paisley, founder of the fundamentalist Free Presbyterian Church. He led “counter-demonstrations” in which “Paisleyite” mobs assaulted non-violent protesters under the watchful but idle eye of the RUC. Paisley’s tactic made street clashes inevitable.
At a political level, attempts to implement reforms were undermined and thwarted. A majority of unionists did not believe that they lived in a discriminatory society. They treated moderation toward the minority community with disdain and embraced stridency. Some unionists felt extremism in the face of civil rights efforts was acceptable. The
