HC Deb 08 June 1972 vol 838 c125W
45. Mr. McMaster

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will transfer guard duties on police barracks and other vital points in Northern Ireland to Army units and release the maximum number of police for regular patrol and law enforcement duties throughout the province.

Mr. David Howell

The Army is performing guard duties at a number of police stations and key points. The duties of both Army and Police are reviewed regularly to ensure that the most effective use is made of the manpower available.
