Paisley calls for removal of Human Rights Commissioner

The head of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission should be removed from office, Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Ian Paisley claimed today.

During the second reading of the Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill in the House of Commons, Mr Paisley launched a hard-hitting attack on the chief commissioner Monica McWilliams, questioning her suitability because she was at the centre of a libel action he won during the last Assembly.
