UUP meets Blair in London
UUP Leader Sir Reg Empey and a delegation from the Party met with the Prime Minister today in London. The UUP delegation also met with Conservative Northern Ireland Spokesman David Liddington.
Speaking after the meeting Sir Reg said,
“We pressed upon the Prime Minister the need for complete transparency in the process from now on. We welcomed the news that the Secretary of State is to get power to call a snap Assembly election if he chooses. This will give an impetus to the process provided that, again, it is done with maximum transparency and openness in order to achieve the necessary public confidence.”
