Caught Browsing

Mark Devenport | 17:04 UK time, Monday, 14 January 2008

The former MP David Burnside and the current MP Sammy Wilson led the charge this afternoon in criticising Executive ministers in general and Caitriona Ruane in particular for taking too long to answer members' questions. Mr Burnside argued that ministers wouldn't get away with being so long winded at Westminster. The Speaker Willie Hay promised to keep an eye on the ministers and declared that question time would be reformed in the future. But Sinn Fein's Barry McElduff hit back, pointing out that Sammy Wilson had spent much of the question time browsing through "a broadsheet newspaper". Well at least it wasn't a tabloid.
