CALL FOR MOTORISTS TO DISPLAY FLAG FOR ULSTER ON NUMBER PLATES

UNIONISTS have called for Ulster motorists to be treated the same as drivers in England, Scotland and Wales by being allowed to display a national flag for Northern Ireland on car number plates.

The Government has reportedly removed Northern Ireland from legislation in an attempt to simplify quashing an unpopular law which only permitted the EU flag – and no others – to be displayed on number plates.

According to a report, the new proposals would allow motorists to replace the ring of stars with either the Union Flag, Cross of St George, Scottish saltire or Welsh dragon.

Beneath that they will be allowed to display Eng for England, Sco for Scotland, Wal for Wales or GB for Great Britain.

But Ulster Unionist Assemblyman David McNarry said that excluding Northern Ireland was a "snub" by the Government and called on ministers to treat the Province in the same way as the rest of the UK.

"The Government has failed to exercise common sense on this issue," he said.

"The answer is straightforward – the Cross of St Patrick is that part of the Union Flag which represents Northern Ireland and is surely acceptable across the community.

"It is on this basis, after all, that the Cross of St Patrick is used on the PSNI insignia.

"When car owners in the other constituent parts of the United Kingdom are allowed to display their regional flags, excluding Northern Ireland is a clumsy, unnecessary offence to the people of Northern Ireland."

Mr McNarry said that the issue was a fundamental one for all unionists and claimed that not addressing the problem of number plate flags could lead to a "plethora of number plate designs" and an "unregulated cottage industry".

DUP Junior Minister Jeffrey Donaldson said that it was "most unfortunate" that Northern Ireland was not being treated the same as England, Scotland and Wales.

"I think it is most unfortunate that Northern Ireland should be excluded from this scheme," he said.

"We have managed to find symbols in the Assembly and PSNI which have satisfied all sides of the community.

"I think the Government has taken the lazy way out."

North Down Alliance deputy mayor Ian Parsley – who "slightly reluctantly" displays the currently permissable GB lettering beside the EU flag on his number plates – said the law needed to be changed to avoid confusion.

"I believe that it would be consistent with the agreement for people to have to have UK because we are a part of the UK – not Great Britain," he said.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Transport in London said reports that the Province would be excluded were "speculation" – but refused to say that they were wrong.

"The Secretary of State has made it clear that he wants to take it (the new law] forward as a priority and he will do that.
