HC Deb 27 February 1922 vol 151 c85W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the military last week, after clearing the Orange mob down the Newtownards Road, Belfast, proceeded to make a house-to-house search in the Catholic district which had been attacked without provocation; whether the Orange streets were included in the search; whether the Catholic residents of Seaford Street and adjoining districts are continually harassed by these repeated attacks; and what effective steps will be taken to protect the lives and liberties of the Catholic residents of this district in the future?

Sir R. SANDERS

I am inquiring into the allegations made in this question, and I will communicate further with the hon. Member in due course.
