HC Deb 02 June 1921 vol 142 c1220
77 Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR

asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that some special constables went into some of the streets in West Belfast at 1 o'clock on Thursday night last, woke up the residents, who were all Nationalists, threatened and terrified them, and at the point of the revolver made them take down flags which they had put up on the occasion of the elections; and if he will say what steps the Government intend to take to punish this lack of discipline on the part of the special constables?

Sir H. GREENWOOD
