§ 23. Professor Savoryasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether any of the arms stolen in the raid on Cluntoe aerodrome, County Tyrone, on the night of 17th April have been recovered, and if so, under what circumstances.
§ Mr. de FreitasI understand that the Royal Ulster Constabulary have recovered the stolen revolver, but I have no knowledge of the circumstances.
§ Professor SavoryIs the Under-Secretary not aware that all the weapons, with the exception of one revolver, have been recovered at a dump of the Irish Republican Army near Dungannon, and will he deny the allegations that this was a frame-up on behalf of the Royal Air Force?
§ Mr. de FreitasI have no other information except that the Royal Ulster Constabulary recovered the stolen revolver. I have no knowledge of the circumstances in which it was recovered.
