Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

That was a nonsensical idea. We are already reaping some of the consequences of getting rid of far too many experienced officers in Northern Ireland. The hon. Gentleman’s party supported a derogation from 50:50 in order to get more detectives recruited from the mainland because of the skills shortage caused by the limited application of the Patten recommendation.
