HC Deb 08 June 1984 vol 61 cc289-90W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the chief constable of Leicestershire police about the detention of Mr. Michael O'Kennedy, a member of the Dail, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act for 45 minutes at East Midlands airport on 12 May; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

No. I understand that Mr. O'Kennedy's passage through controls at the airport was delayed only briefly while his identity was established.
