SDLP on the attack over parades commission
The nationalist SDLP tonight rejected claims it lobbied the British government to have one of its former MPs, Dr Joe Hendron appointed to the Northern Ireland Parades Commission.
In a hard hitting attack on the new-look commission which also includes Portadown Orangeman David Burrows, Sinn Féin Assembly member Alex Maskey claimed it was biased, with no representative of the working class nationalist and republican community on it.
