HC Deb 28 October 1976 vol 918 c334W
23. Mr. Carson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the outcome of the inquiry into the alleged delay of the police answering the numerous calls to the house of the hon. Member for Belfast, West (Mr. Fitt) on 9th August 1976.

Mr. Mason

Neither my predecessor nor I considered that there was any need for a formal enquiry. I am satisfied that the police and the Army reacted promptly and did everything they could to protect the household of the hon. Member for Belfast, West (Mr. Fitt).
