HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 c1W
16. Mr. Tope

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he has studied the medical report produced by four Belfast surgeons on the effects of the use of rubber bullets; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Blaker

I am aware of the report. I am satisfied that rubber bullets have their legitimate place in the range of weapons available to the troops in Northern Ireland for riot control.
