HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 cc261-2W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United States Government about the collection of funds for use by the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the Government's current activities to curtail such moneys.

Mr. Amery

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which was given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary to his Question on 21st June which is still applicable.

The Government of the United States are well aware of our concern at the use to which such moneys are put.

Details of action taken to prevent funds being used to support terrorist operations in Northern Ireland must for obvious reasons remain confidential.— [Vol. 839, c. 123.]
