    Should it be called Londonderry or Derry? maybe Stroke City for some.
    Why, I thought it was only the council that had an agreed change of name? :cool:

    Question from David Cameron to Gordon Brown

    We know from reports that a number of other issues were considered at Hillsborough, including the Irish language and the Presbyterian Mutual Society. There are also reports of agreements not included in the formal text. Can the Prime Minister clarify that?

    Reply does not mention PMS.

    Peter Robinson: ...is no doubt that, in doing that, we will learn
    lessons from the processes as we move forward under these arrangements.
    Mr Beggs also asked about side deals. I have heard a lot being said
    about the *Presbyterian Mutual Society* and so forth. At a time when we
    were talking to Government Ministers, particularly the Prime Minister,
    whose ear we were able to whisper into, our community would have...

    The Prime Minister has offered us a date to talk further about the Presbyterian Mutual Society, and I know that the deputy First Minister and I are eager to take it up.

    Treasury Committee

    Email from treasury committee at 1705hrs reads...
    The Fifth Report of Session 2009-2010 :'Reporting contingent liabilities to parliament' to be published 22nd February, 11.00am, but will not be available under embargo.
    The Sixth report titled 'The Failure of The Presbyterian Mutual Society 'will be available on Thursday 18th February, 0001hrs for the public. Embargoed copies of this report will be available to the press on the Wednesday at 11.00hrs.

    Well now can some of you good folks tell me what this means??

    Is this not the Thursday for the ruling from the court about distribution??

    --Regards and God will Bless.
  • I take to mean, Josef, that this will be the committee's report (i.e. "Sixth Report") to Parliament about its hearings held at Stormont a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it will include observations, conclusions, recommendations. The press embargo means that reporters will get the report at 11 a.m. next Wednesday, so they can study it thoroughly, prepare their stories and line up reactions. However, they will not be able to publish/broadcast until after midnight (the embargo time), when it becomes generally available to the public. In practical terms, I expect that we will be able to see/hear news stories first thing on Thursday morning, with various reactions to follow shortly afterward. But because the committee has no actual powers, I'm not sure what practical impact its report will have. As to your other questions about the court ruling, I can't recall that the judge set an actual date, but I expect it's about that day. However, judges have been known to miss their own deadlines. Best if someone keeps a watch on the court dockets, I suppose. I figure the judge's decision will be much more interesting than the committee's report.
