HC Deb 06 December 1971 vol 827 c232W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Minister of State for Defence what are his reasons for refusing to remove one of the Army noise machines from the secure establishment where it is now kept in order that Members of Parliament may see and hear it.

Lord Balniel

The methods used in support of interrogation will be among the matters considered by the Committee of Privy Councillors under Lord Parker's chairmanship, who will be able to see and hear one of these machines if they wish to do so. I do not think that at this stage it would be advisable to make the machines more generally available.
