Lord Shutt of Greetland: My Lords, I too thank the noble and learned Lord the Lord Privy Seal for introducing the regulations. I also associate those of us on these Benches with his words regarding the work of the RUC during the past years.
I shall make it clear that there can be many alternatives to these plans. Already, I have heard a suggestion that within the service emblem there should, perhaps, be a hand. I have looked at the torch and wondered whether it had anything to do with the Conservative Party. Where is the bird of liberty? Should there be a rose? I wonder whether the cloveris it a clover, with three leaves?should not have four leaves, for good fortune. That would be wonderful. I am certain that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Williams of Mostyn, is delighted that we are not discussing the Emblems (Drawing up the plans thereof) Bill.
It is wonderful that we can rejoice that there is unity on the emblems for the new Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I am grateful. I commend the regulations to the House.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
