Millions wasted on Stevens report, says human rights group

MILLIONS of pounds have been squandered on a major new probe into alleged security force collusion with loyalist paramilitary killers in Northern Ireland, it was claimed yesterday.

With Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens set to publish just a tiny part of his report, human rights campaigners claimed the public had been cheated.

Paul Mageean, of the Belfast-based Committee on the Administration of Human Rights, said: "This is an absolute scandal stg£4 million has been spent on this inquiry and it looks as if we will see about 15 pages out of 3,000."
