Mr. Mark Durkan, MP:

Regarding Ms Boyce's comment about the PSNI, there is a strong emphasis now on the benefits of the Human Rights Act in giving the police a very good light to go by in terms of dealing with contentious issues. The Chief Constable made that very point himself when speaking in Derry last night. He spoke about how important and valuable the Human Rights Act had been. He was less emphatic about the importance of a bill of rights as well but I would suggest that he be invited to a session and I am sure he will be given a stronger orientation in that regard.
