Chris Hudson is a Unitarian minister in Belfast. He was formerly a trade union official and acted as a go between with the Irish Government and the Loyalist UVF.[1]

According to The Observer, Hudson is an acquaintance of Michael Semple who was expelled from Afghanistan after attempting to play a similar go-between role with the Taliban:

Semple met his friend and former Oxfam colleague, Chris Hudson, in Dublin during a visit in November. Hudson said his friend was closely interested in how the Ulster Volunteer Force, had been encouraged to end its campaign. Hudson had played a pivotal role in the Ulster Volunteer Force ceasefire and set up a secret link between the loyalists and the Irish government.[2]
