Proceeding contribution from Lord Kilclooney (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Policing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007.


Policing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007

I was not talking about the oath of allegiance. I rather suspected that the Minister had not read it; it needs to be considered in further detail. On the employment of constables from forces in the United Kingdom and specifically the Republic of Ireland, there is a rule in the PSNI, as the Minister knows, that 50 per cent of the new members must not be Roman Catholics. Will the employment of police officers from the Republic of Ireland comply with that rule?
