HC Deb 08 March 1979 vol 963 cc737-8W
17. Mr. Dunlop

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the circumstances surrounding the death of James Taylor, near Coagh, in September 1978.

Mr. Mason

Mr. James Taylor was shot dead near Coagh, Co. Tyrone on 30 September 1978. A full police report on the incident has been furnished to the Director of Public Prosecutions. In due course an inquest will be held in public. It would not be right for me to comment further at this stage.
