HC Deb 02 August 1976 vol 916 cc564-5W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the tunnel by which several IRA prisoners recently made their escape from the Maze Prison has been blocked up to its entire length.

Mr. Concannon

It would not be in the interests of prison security to reveal the method of sealing off old tunnels. The hon. Member may be assured that action has been taken to ensure that this tunnel could not be used a second time.
