HC Deb 15 March 1971 vol 813 c230W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Minister of State for Defence what are the reasons for the delay in the introduction of new weapons to control subversion which he promised to the joint security forces on his last visit to Northern Ireland.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

I assume that the visit referred to is that by my noble Friend the Secretary of State on 28th-29th January, at the end of which he mentioned at a press conference the development of new equipment for the Army in Northern Ireland. Development is in progress.
