HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 cc338-9W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the reasons for the drop in finds of weapons, ammunition and gelignite by the Army in Belfast since 24th May, when compared with similar earlier periods.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

In the Army brigade area which includes Belfast, arms finds since 24th May compare favourably with those in the periods 12th April to 3rd May and 3rd to 24th May.
