The DUP leader Gavin Robinson says the party is undertaking a “robust” review into what was known about former DUP figure Donaldson’s conduct during his time in the party. Robinson says he is pleased that the review is being carried out by Jim Gamble. Multiple outlets report that Gamble will lead the inquiry. They describe him as a former RUC officer and the head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre.
Coverage also indicates the DUP has set out details about how the review will be handled, focusing on the information the party held and what was known at the time, rather than making specific findings in the reporting so far. The articles do not provide additional outcomes or conclusions, and they do not describe the review’s full terms of reference, scope, or timeline beyond identifying the chair and the purpose of assessing what was known regarding Donaldson’s conduct while he was in the DUP.
The reports collectively outline the DUP’s decision to commission an external-led review into past knowledge and handling of alleged conduct.
