Moutray on parades group

UPPER Bann DUP MLA Stephen Moutray has been nominated as one of the three DUP MLAs to sit on the new cross party working group to deal with parading controversies.

Commenting on his appointment Stephen Moutray said, “The DUP is very clear; this issue needs to be resolved. We recognise that parading is important and we want to see local solutions to local problems.

“I, along with my party colleagues, will work to bring forward proposals that hold out the prospect of a new beginning to this matter.

“There will be no jumping ahead - parades will be completed in the same way as policing. There is a timetable for parades legislation to be completed.
