Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Minister of State for Defence what investigations the Army made into firing on the Lower Falls area of Belfast on the night of Thursday, 22nd July and Friday morning 23rd July; and what were the results of these investigations.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

The Army was not directly involved in these incidents.

Miss Devlin

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many rounds have been recorded as being fired by members of the First Royal Anglian Regiment in Londonderry between three o'clock and three-thirty on 8th July, 1971, in the log book of that regiment.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

I understand that evidence on this point was given at the coroner's inquest into the death of Desmond Beattie.
