	Combined Loyalist Military Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CLMC first tested the idea of a ceasefire in 1991 when it called a halt to all action from the 29th April to 4th July of that year.
		Although the ceasefire was not universally observed by all members it did indicate that the CLMC was open to the possibility of ending its campaign and a line of negotiation was opened afterwards with Robin Eames, the head of the Church of Ireland.
		The ceasefire, however, proved difficult to maintain and in 1996 the CLMC was forced to distance itself from the murder of a Catholic taxi driver by a UVF member.

	Billy Wright (loyalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He joined the youth section of the UVF at the age of fifteen, partly in response to the Kingsmill massacre of 1976, when ten local Protestants were killed by the IRA.
		Wright became commander of a brigade in the mid-Ulster area around Portadown and directed up to 20 sectarian killings, according to the Security Forces, though he was never convicted of any [3].
		They were joined by other loyalists disaffected by the peace process, giving them a maximum strength estimated at around 250 activists.

		Loyalist Volunteer Force is a splinter group which was led by Billy Wright, until he was murdered by republicans in the Maze prison at Christmas 1997.

		Following a meeting between loyalist prisoners and their political representatives inside Long Kesh prison today it appears increasingly unlikely that loyalist paramilitaries will end their official two year ceasefire.
		The IRA statement claiming responsibility for the attack on the British Army HQ at Lisburn stated that the attack should be seen as an attack on a military target and not as a provocation to loyalists.
		In a further development today a church minister and a prominent Conservative backbench MP have called for an early release of loyalist prisoners as a 'reward' for the maintenance of the loyalist ceasefire.

		When the loyalist ceasefire was announced by former Maze Prison UVF Commander Gusty Spence in 1994, Roy Magee did not court the limelight.
