§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland for what reasons he has proposed that members of Opus Dei should declare their membership on wishing to be recruited into the proposed Police Service of Northern Ireland; and whether existing members of the RUC who are members of Opus Dei will be called upon to reveal their membership. [130501]
