Proceeding contribution from Viscount Brookeborough (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

My Lords, I have not yet spoken but want to ask one question on that. When the military were operating in Northern Ireland, there was legislation which enabled them to do so. Therefore, if the chief constable wishes to bring them back in anything other than bomb disposal, there would need to be legislation. Therefore, the chief constable could surely not do it off his own bat.
