§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will now seek to implement in Northern Ireland recommendations Nos. 48, 50 and 53 of the Edmund-Davies report on the structure and role of police staff associations, Cmnd. 7633.
§ Mr. PriorAs I made clear during the debate in Committee on the Northern Ireland Bill on 16 June 1982, I intend to consider this matter with the members of the new Police Authority, who have only just taken up office. There are considerations in Northern Ireland that do not apply in Great Britain, which will have to be taken into account.—[Vol. 25, c. 1018.]
