§ Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when the latest report of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Explosives for Northern Ireland will be laid before the House.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesThe latest Report of Her Majesty's Inspectors, which covers the years 1971 to 1974, has been laid before the House today. As a result of direct rule, annual reports laid at Stormont previously were not laid for those years, but the reports will be laid at Westminster annually in future. I should perhaps explain that these reports are concerned with safety in the manufacture, transport and use of explosives and not with the security aspect.
