Statement from the Chairman of the Ulster Unionist Party Executive Committee
Monday, June 26th, 2006
Following a meeting of the Ulster Unionist Party Executive Committee today, UUP Chairman David Campbell said,
“The Ulster Unionist Executive Committee reiterated its determination to seek the re-establishment of devolution on acceptable terms at the earliest opportunity to avoid the imposition of some of the most damaging policies to be proposed by any direct rule administration in recent years. The Executive also stated that, whatever the media speculation, it won’t be diverted from this vital task.
The Executive deplores the linking of the education order to the political process in a manner which seems like blackmail to most people. The future of our children’s education should not be used as a political football in this way.
The Executive also wishes to put on record its appreciation for the work of party representatives and all those involved in seeking a peaceful solution to the Whiterock parade issue. Those who have taken risks should be rewarded with a peaceful, law abiding and enjoyable parade.”
