HC Deb 26 October 1971 vol 823 cc302-3W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will now make an official protest to the Czechoslovakian Government, complaining about guns and arms being made available by an official State body to the Irish Republican Army for use in Northern Ireland.

Sir Alec Douglas-Home

As I said in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Antrim, North (Rev. Ian Paisley) on 20th October, we are in touch with the Government of Czechoslovakia. I hope shortly to be in a position to consider whether a further statement to the House would be advisable.—[Vol. 823, c. 137–8.]
