HC Deb 11 December 1972 vol 848 c60W
Mr. McMaster

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many cases of religious discrimination have been established during the last two years in Northern Ireland by the Commissioner of Complaints.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The reports of the Commissioner for Complaints which have been published for the years 1970 and 1971 record that only one case of religious discrimination was established in 1971.

The Commissioner has informed me that unless a case is established before he presents his annual report for 1972 to Parliament early next year it will record that there was no finding in that year of maladministration because of religious discrimination.
