§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the work of the special murder squads; and if he will consider extending this principle of joint 40W Royal Ulster Constabulary-Military Police patrols to other types of security work as well.
§ Mr. David HowellThe special task force has had a significant effect, and its activities have led to the arrest of a number of people who have since been charged with murder. The Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Army act closely together in most types of security work, and methods of joint operation are under constant review.
