On the recordSeptember 26, 2000
Mr. Speaker, let me close by noting that some in unionism say Patten's police reforms go too far too fast. I have here in my hand a 1985 Belfast newspaper, the Irish News, where the SDLP's Seamus Mallon was calling for RUC reform more than 15 years ago. This is dated August 19, 1985. Mr. Speaker, I call on the British parliamentarians to let us get on with police reform and let us live by the Good Friday Accord. Accordingly, I urge my colleagues to cast a strong vote in support of H. Res. 547.
