SDLP: End whispering campaign against General
The Social Democratic and Labour Party today called on the British and Irish governments to back down from a “whispering campaign” against the head of the International Decommissioning Body, General John de Chastelain.
The call by the party’s policing spokesman, Alex Attwood, followed reports in a Sunday newspaper that London and Dublin were questioning the value of the body which has cost more than £6.5m (€9.5m) since its inception five years ago.
