HC Deb 23 May 2000 vol 350 cc463-4W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 17 February 2000,Official Report, column 648W, on Bloody Sunday, if he will make a further statement about the destruction of self-loading rifles. [122765]

Mr. Hoon

The Ministry of Defence/West Mercia police investigation, which is urgently investigating the whereabouts and possible recovery of the surviving so-called 'Bloody Sunday rifles' and the destruction of two rifles that had been previously identified, is still under way. It would be inappropriate to comment further until this investigation is complete.
