July 29 2000 BRITAIN Masonry move for police BY RICHARD FORD, HOME CORRESPONDENT POLICE officers face being forced to declare whether they are Freemasons after two thirds of them refused to co-operate with a voluntary system of recording membership. Of the 43 forces in England and Wales, 32 have set up voluntary registers. The Government said that unless the response improved, disclosure would be made compulsory. Jack Straw praised the response from the judiciary and magistracy, saying that it proved that registration could be achieved without its being mandatory. The Government had hoped that a voluntary system of recording membership would allay public fears that Masonic networks exist in the criminal justice system. Home Office figures show that only 36 per cent of officers in forces operating voluntary registration provided information about membership. The figure for judges was 96 per cent. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
