HC Deb 28 April 1972 vol 835 cc366-7W
Captain Orr

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will publish all the details concerning the death of Corporal Elliott of the Ulster Defence Regiment and in particular the nature of his wounds.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

The circumstances in which Corporal Elliott's body was recovered were described by my right hon. Friend in answer to a Question on 25th April from my hon. Friend, the Member for Armagh (Mr. Maginnis). I understand that an inquest will be held, but reports at present available to me indicate only that the body had a number of gunshot wounds.—[Vol. 835, c. 629–70.]
