HC Deb 26 November 1970 vol 807 cc183-4W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he is aware of the concern of the majority of the residents of Broadway, Tates Avenue, and Lower Donegal Road, Belfast, at the action of the Army unit in their district in appointing a Recreation Committee, unrepresentative of their views, and formed without consultation or election; and if he will take steps to ensure that the wishes of the majority are respected in these cases.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

The committee in question was set up to help an Army unit in a local community relations project involving the construction of a football ground on behalf of the Northern Ireland Adventure Playground Association. It does not purport to be a formal representative body.
