§ 52. Mr. Goodhartasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will make a statement about the operation of the security forces in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. Robert C. BrownThe murders, while on duty, of four young soldiers last week was a sad reminder of the difficult and often dangerous task the security forces in Northern Ireland have to face every day. The security forces will continue to carry out their many duties bravely, efficiently and cheerfully, and cowardly attacks against them, such as those of last week, will not shake one bit their resolve to protect the citizens of Northern Ireland from those who perpetrate violence and terrorism.
