HC Deb 04 August 1971 vol 822 c341W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked 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 Smith

It 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.
