HC Deb 09 December 1974 vol 883 cc47-8W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will announce the date when the 1,200 outstanding applicants to the RUC Reserve will be processed and a decision taken.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The recruitment scheme is meeting with great success and applications are continually being received and processed. The backlog caused by the initial response to my statement on 2nd September is being rapidly reduced.
