§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of State for Defence what progress the security forces have made in restoring full law and order in urban areas of Northern Ireland dominated by the Irish Republican Army or other subversive movements.
§ Mr. Ian GilmourThere is no area in Northern Ireland which the security forces do not enter. In certain parts of Belfast and Londonderry, however, the maintenance of law and order remains difficult owing to the limited co-operation of the local residents.
