00:00Does the Home Secretary agree that at the start of the trouble in Northern Ireland,
00:04I went to our Deputy First Minister and got her, with the help of the local health trust,
00:09to visit our local hospital, where we were able to offer some form of reassurance to people
00:14of whatever background and every country of origin that they came from, that they had our
00:18total support? Does he agree that that is a good, positive way to approach this, but also that we
00:25identify and speak about some of the issues that many people have about illegal immigration,
00:31and try to ensure that we don't see in this country what we have seen in other countries
00:35across the EU? The Honourable Member is right that the thing that we have always done in this
00:41country is people have come together, people have worked together, people work together on issues,
00:45on tackling problems, on debating issues. The people who were responsible for this kind of
00:51violence and these attacks, including on our police officers, do not speak for the United
00:58Kingdom. They really don't. They don't speak for any part of the UK and we should never let them do so.
