HC Deb 28 March 1974 vol 871 c202W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will initiate discussions between the civil administration, the police and the armed forces in Northern Ireland to promote closer liaison between those involved in the maintenance of law and order.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I assume that my hon. Friend has particularly in mind the tragic incident on the night of 19th March lást. I would refer him to the statement which I made to the House on 21st March—[Vol. 870, c. 1340–42.]—in which I said that an urgent and thorough review would be conducted of the procedures to prevent a recurrence. Some measures have already been taken.
