Northern Ireland Assembly
12:45 pm
I declare an interest as a member of the Policing Board and, indeed, as a member of the selection panel that appointed ACC George Hamilton, who seems to be personally responsible for the change of policy in Northern Ireland. How can the Minister justify coming to the House only a matter of months ago and saying that this seemed to him to be a very dangerous proposal to put forward at that stage and, with full credit to ACC Hamilton, be able to come to the House today celebrating the unanimity in which, it seems, he was the discordant chord in the first place?
