Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 (Renewal of Temporary Provisions) Order 2010

To give the noble Baroness a chance to have a glass of water, I make the point, just to place it on record, that this legislation, leading to good results as it is, has none the less been most hurtful to the Protestant majority community. To be fair to them and to take into account their interests, the Northern Ireland Office should not be selective, in inviting consultation with people who do not represent the Protestant community. Protestant community leaders, be it the Presbyterian Church leaders, the Church of Ireland leaders or the Orange Order, should also be consulted, so that all views are taken into account.
