HC Deb 09 November 1972 vol 845 c224W
43. Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will give an assurance that the results of the plebiscite to be held in the near future in Northern Ireland will be given in figures for the Province as a whole, and not split up into different areas.

Mr. David Howell

Yes.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether it is his intention to divide the results of the referendum on the future of Ulster in relation to the United Kingdom into counties with an option for those counties to decide their constitutional position individually.

Mr. David Howell

No. The Bill before the House provides for a poll to enable the people of Northern Ireland as a whole to make known their wishes.
