HC Deb 20 January 1977 vol 924 c324W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland why there is no mention of terrorism in recruiting literature of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

Mr. Dunn

Recruitment to the Royal Ulster Constabulary is a matter for the Chief Constable and the Police Authority.

I am advised that recruiting literature is designed to attract candidates interested in joining the RUC as a career. Applicants are normally residents of Northern Ireland, who may be assumed to be fully aware of the present task of the force in combatting terrorism.
