Proceeding contribution from Lord Kilclooney (Crossbench) 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

I regret that decision. It is the decision of the chief constable, and not of the Government. This is a very serious matter, because you could have a Minister of Justice from Sinn Fein, and as they have already said there is no way in which they want to bring back the British Army into Northern Ireland on an operational basis. Their job is to get rid of the British Army, not to bring it back.
