HC Deb 07 December 1995 vol 268 c387W
Mrs. Jane Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what changes he is planning to enhance community identification with policing in Northern Ireland. [3033]

Sir John Wheeler

We will publish shortly proposals for legislative reforms, to increase the ability of the community, through the Police Authority for Northern Ireland to shape the future direction of policing. The RUC, the Police Authority and the Government are also undertaking a fundamental review of policing needs, services and organisation, with community identification at its core.
