HC Deb 12 February 1971 vol 811 c275W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Minister of State for Defence why members of the Army allowed themselves to be pushed out of Ardilea Street, Belfast, on Tuesday, 9th February, while uniformed Irish Republican Army members fired shots over the coffin of a man who had been killed by the Army during recent riots.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

The Army were deployed near but not in Ardilea Street, Belfast, on this occasion. Therefore, no such incident took place.
