Commission On The Royal Ulster Constabulary

28 April 1998

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has not welcomed the proposals for setting up a Commission to review the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Grand Lodge believe that the Chief Constable and his Senior Officers have the ability to review their role, without interference.

The suggestion of the appointment of the last Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Chris Patten, to head a Commission to reform the Royal Ulster Constabulary will bring no comfort to the members of the Loyal Orange Institution.

It must be remembered that in the mid 1980's, when Mr. Patten was a Minister in the Northern Ireland Office, that it was he who made the infamous decision in the City of Londonderry to change the Council name to "Derry City Council".
