HC Deb 11 December 1979 vol 975 c611W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement about the terrorist incidents which occurred in Lurgan, County Armagh, on 26 and 28 November.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

In the early evening of 26 November a blast incendiary device detonated in a solicitor's office at Church Place, Lurgan, injuring two people, one seriously. A second blast incendiary device was neutralised. Damage was not extensive.

At about 2030 hours on 28 November, a fire, believed to have been started by a petrol bomb, broke out in Brownlow House, Lurgan. Serious damage was caused to one wing of the building.

The Royal Ulster Constabulary is continuing its investigations into these incidents.
