HC Deb 03 December 1971 vol 827 cc178-9W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he will withdraw all noise machines from Northern Ireland and undertake that they will not be used in future for interrogation purposes in Ulster or anywhere else.

Lord Balniel

The machines will remain in the secure establishments where they are now kept.

The Government will consider their future use in the light of the advice they receive from Lord Parker's Committee of Privy Councillors.
