HC Deb 07 February 1975 vol 885 c667W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many victims of assassinations in 1974 were described in newspaper death notices as members of the Provisional IRA; and how many were given IRA-type funerals.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

As far as I have been able to ascertain, during 1974 there were no victims of assassinations described in newspaper death notices as members of the Provisional IRA and no IRA-type funerals of victims so described.
