HC Deb 23 January 1973 vol 849 cc128-9W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will publish particulars of Soviet bloc arms and equipment captured from, and known to be in the possession of, the IRA.

Mr. Blaker

The following items have been seized by the security forces in Northern Ireland and appear to be of Warsaw Pact manufacture:

Description Quantity
RPG 7 Rocket Launcher 2
PG 7 Rocket 1
PS 303 ammunition 750 rounds (approx.)

Recent attacks believed to have been made by the Provisional Wing of the IRA indicate that their weapon stocks include a quantity of RPG rockets and launchers.
