HC Deb 18 June 1981 vol 6 c429W
14. Mr. Alexander

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many prosecutions there have been over the last two years of persons for possessing and using firearms at funerals in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Alison

Following their appearance at a funeral last year, six people have been convicted of various terrorist-type offences, including the possession of firearms and the wearing of para-military uniforms. Similar incidents at subsequent funerals remain under investigation.
