Church head calls for unity on police issue

The head of the Presbyterian Church, Dr Trevor Morrow, has urged all political parties in the North to accept the new policing proposals.

The policing issue has proven to be a major hurdle to peace, along with failure on decommissioning and demilitarisation. Despite a recruitment drive for the new police service set to begin tomorrow, both Sinn Fein and the SDLP have refused to nominate a person to the Police Board.
