§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland why there is no mention of terrorism in recruiting literature of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
§ Mr. DunnRecruitment 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.
