HC Deb 14 December 1972 vol 848 c190W
39. Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has further evidence of the source from which the Warsaw Pact country-made rocket launchers were supplied to the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Amery

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister told the House on 7th December, we formally asked the Soviet Embassy on 6th December for the cooperation of the Soviet authorities in establishing the channel of supply of the rockets. The embassy was given full details including details of markings. The Soviet Embassy undertook to report the request, and I very much hope that the co-operation of the Soviet authorities will he forthcoming.—[Vol. 847, c. 1668.]
