Alliance in segregation threat to Stormont

The party earmarked to take on the North's new Justice Ministry will not accept the post until the Stormont government agrees on a strategy to tackle segregation in the region, a senior member signalled today.

Anna Lo from the Alliance Party said progress on devolving policing and justice powers from Westminster would not be possible until the Sinn Féin/Democratic Unionist-led coalition tabled its long delayed 'Cohesion, Sharing and Integration (CSI)' document.
