§ Mr. Masonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he or Ministers in his Department have on visits to the United States of America made representations to the United States Government to take legal or legislative steps against the NORAID organisation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Tom King[pursuant to his reply, 24 April 1986, c. 202]: Representations have been made on many occasions about support from United States citizens to terrorists in Northern Ireland. The United States Government have made clear their opposition to groups who give support to terrorists, and in particular have taken vigorous action against those who supply weapons. I am grateful for their co-operation.
