§ Rev. Ian Paisleyasked the Minister of State for Defence how many members of the Ulster Defence Regiment have been disciplined since 1st January, 1971; how many have been dismissed; and what were the charges which led to their discipline or their dismissal.
§ Mr. G. Johnson SmithIt would require a disproportionate amount of time and effort to obtain this information. However, I can say that 28 members of the Ulster Defence Regiment have had their services terminated under administrative procedures since 1st January, 1971.
