§ Rev. Ian Paisleyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will call for reports from Chief Constables on the number of threats on the life of Her Majesty the Queen that have been received by the police from Irish Republican Army sources; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SharplesMy right hon. Friend is in regular touch with chief officers of police on such matters, and sees no need for a special inquiry. Chief officers of police take appropriate action when such threats are received.
