§ Miss Devlinasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will investigate the evidence submitted to him by the hon. Member for Mid-Ulster that British military personnel are involved in illegal eviction of refugees squatting in empty houses in Belfast; and whether he will take action to prevent this practice.
§ Mr. HattersleyI am satisfied that British military personnel have not been involved in any illegal eviction of squatters. I will write to the hon. Member about the specific allegations referred to in the article which she sent to the Secretary of State when I have made further inquiries.
