Proceeding contribution from Kris Hopkins (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rosemary Nelson Inquiry Report.


Rosemary Nelson Inquiry Report

I agree with the content of the Secretary of State's statement, and I support his tone—it was extremely appropriate that he spoke in such a way. I do not excuse in any way anybody who did a wrong thing, but I served with members of the RUC—they were extremely brave individuals in their commitment to the service, both on and off duty. Does he agree that the PSNI is a very different creature to the policing arrangements of 1999, and that we, and people on both sides of the community, should take comfort in that?
