East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has welcomed the Hillsborough Agreement, saying that it allows devolution of policing and justice to take place on terms that are acceptable to unionists.
“I welcome the agreement which was negotiated at Hillsborough and I look forward to discussing it with my constituents in East Antrim during the consultation period.
