Terence O'Neill was a former Northern Ireland Prime Minister (1963–1969) who introduced a package of 'reform measures' which were the result of meetings in London with Harold Wilson (then British Prime Minister), and James Callaghan (then British Home Secretary). The five point reform plan included:

      •      a nine member 'Development Commission' to take over the powers of the Londonderry Corporation;

      •      an ombudsman to investigate complaints against government departments;

      •      the allocation of houses by local authorities to be based on need;

      •      the Special Powers Act to be abolished as it was safe to do so; and

      •      some reform of the local government franchise (the end of the company votes).
