Donaldson: Decision 'will exacerbate matters'

Ulster Unionist MP Jeffrey Donaldson has claimed the UUP Officer Board's decision to proceed with a second disciplinary hearing against him and his two collegues has made matters worse.

The Ulster Unionist Party has been badly split over a decision last month by the party’s ruling council to back the leadership refusal to completely reject plans put forward by the British and Irish Governments for the future of the Good Friday Agreement.
