HC Deb 06 November 1989 vol 159 cc427-8W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will call for a report from the chief constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary on the circumstances of the murder of Mr. Gerard Slane in respect of whether any leaking of official photographs and documents relating to Mr. Slane were involved; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cope

No. However, at the request of the chief constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the deputy chief constable of Cambridgeshire, Mr. John Stevens, is already undertaking a full and impartial investigation into the alleged leaking of security material with a view to the earliest possible comprehensive report to the chief constable.
