HC Deb 17 March 1976 vol 907 c552W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will ensure that letters appointing high sheriffs are typed or written in a manner and on paper appropriate to a Royal communication; and whether he will follow the procedure obtaining in other parts of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I am looking into this matter, and a reply will be sent to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
