Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. I reiterate my party's desire to see a Police Service that is truly representative of the community that it is here to serve and protect. Threats from so-called republicans to deter Catholics from joining certainly do not help. Does the Minister believe that the UK Government recognise the damage being caused by their handling of legacy to confidence in the rule of law?
