Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Devolution of Policing and Justice Functions) Order 2010.


Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Devolution of Policing and Justice Functions) Order 2010

My Lords, the best thing I can do is to quote what the chief constable recently said: ""The decision to request military support would obviously require detailed discussions with the Policing Board, and I would not do it without raising the issues with the Minister of Justice because I think it is appropriate to do that. I work as an operational chief constable in a democracy, in a tripartite system between a Minister of Justice, a Policing Board and myself, and that is entirely appropriate"." Those are his words.
