HC Deb 08 December 1976 vol 922 cc274-5W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether, now that the Judges' Rules 1964 have been applied to Northern Ireland, the Rules are prominently displayed in RUC stations, as suggested by the Rules themselves; and if he will list those police stations in which the Rules were not displayed on 30th November 1976.

Mr. Dunn,

pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 6th December 1976; Vol. 922, c. 87], gave the following information:

I am informed that in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Directions on interrogation and the taking of statements, which are printed with the Judges' Rules, specially printed notices have been issued to all police stations in Northern Ireland. The notice, which is both read over to persons in custody and given to them to read, contains information about their rights and facilities in relation to bail, communication with solicitors and friends, the taking of finagerprints, identification parades and legal aid.
