§ 64. Rev. Ian Paisleyasked the Minister of State for Defence why in Waterloo Place, Londonderry, on 11th October, 1970 the Army authorities permitted eight hours of persistent rioting by residents of the Bogside before using CS gas.
§ Mr. Ian GilmourThe decision on when CS should be used is a matter for the judgment of the Commander on the spot, who, in the light of the prevailing circumstances, decides which particular tactics and devices it is appropriate to employ.
