HC Deb 30 January 1973 vol 849 c367W
Mr. Fitt

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will discontinue talks with the Ulster Defence Association and the Loyalist Association of Workers organisations in Northern Ireland, in view of their collusion with the illegal Ulster Volunteer Force.

Mr. Whitelaw

I am prepared to continue to meet any lawful association in Northern Ireland. I remain unwilling to meet any illegal organisation.
