HC Deb 24 April 1969 vol 782 c112W
54. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a further statement on Northern Ireland.

Mr. Callaghan

Yes. Since I addressed the House on Tuesday, 22nd April, the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland has stated that his Government are determined to secure acceptance of the principle of universal adult suffrage in local government elections. I am sure the House will welcome the Northern Ireland Government's decision.
