HC Deb 12 July 1979 vol 970 c256W
Mr. Tom Benyon

asked the Lord Privy Seal what consultations he has had with the Government of the Republic of Ireland about the problems of cross-border co-operation in pursuing terrorists, following an interview, filmed in Dublin by the BBC, with the self-confessed murderer of Mr. Airey Neave.

Sir Ian Gilmour

None. Cross-border co-operation against terrorism was however discussed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he was in Dublin on 27 June.

I am sure the House deeply regrets the distress caused to Lady Neave by the interview.
