Clause 19 - Fixed-term appointments
Police (Northern Ireland) Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Ms Jane Kennedy (Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office; Liverpool, Wavertree, Labour)
With that prompting, I shall see what I can do before the close of today's proceedings.
The right hon. Member for Upper Bann has confirmed that he intends to return to the issue on Report, so it would be an unwise Minister who failed to take note and reflect on what was said in the debate to establish whether it is reasonable. I certainly undertake to do so.
Finally, arrangements between the two forces will be reciprocal. I understand that the Irish Government will shortly introduce legislation to enable
secondments to be made in the same terms for An Garda Síochana as for the PSNI.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 19 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
