*[[Strategic Review of Parading]] Ad Hoc Advisory Body Date Established 18 April 2007 Date Reported/Due to Report  Report Details Interim consultative report published on
 
29 April 2008. Notes The Terms of Reference of the Strategic Review of Parading were announced on 2 February 2007. 
 
The appointments of all members of the Parading Commission are due to expire on 31 December
 
2009 and their future, and that of the Commission, is closely linked to the Strategic Review of
 
Parading.  The Strategic Review of Parades Body (SRPB), chaired by Lord Ashdown, aim to find
 
a long term, settled, cross-community view on parading. It has been examining the issue of  
 
parading for Northern Ireland, in terms of its social, economic and cultural implications. The
 
consultation on the SRPB’s interim report ended on 31 August 2008.  It is anticipated that the issue
 
of parading in Northern Ireland will not devolve immediately with the other policing and security
 
issues.  This will allow time for the SRPB to publish their final report and legislation, giving effect to
 
their proposals, to be introduced. Appointments Summary: Ministers 0 Civil Servants 0 Wider Public Servants 1 Voluntary/ Charity Sector 0 Private Sector 6. Chair: [[Paddy Ashdown|LORD ASHDOWN OF NORTON-SUB-HAMPDON GCMG]]
