HC Deb 13 March 1972 vol 833 cc23-4W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will stop the import of cattle from Eire until such time as the Eire Government hand over the three terrorists who crossed into Northern Ireland, murdered an official of the Stormont Ministry of Agriculture at Middleton, County Armagh, and then drove back into the Republic on 8th March, 1972.

Mr. Prior

I do not consider that such action would be helpful in the situation. I should like, however, to take this opportunity to express my sympathy to the family of the Northern Ireland official who lost his life in the incident.
