HC Deb 17 November 1977 vol 939 cc359-60W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how a high ranking officer in the Provisional IRA, an employee of St. Patrick's Training School, obtained a pass authorising his admittance to any Royal Ulster Constabulary station.

Mr. Mason

No such pass has been issued to an employee of any training school, and there is in fact no document which authorises anyone other than a police officer admittance to any RUC station beyond usual public access. If the hon. Member has any evidence that any individual is a member of the IRA he should make it available to the police.
