HC Deb 13 November 1979 vol 973 cc550-1W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what regulations exist to govern the flying of the Union flag on or at school buildings on specified days.

Mr. Goodhart

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the Union flag should be, or ever had to be, flown at polling stations during polling hours at any local or national election in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Alison

There is not now and there never has been a requirement that the Union flag should be flown at polling stations during polling hours at local or national elections in Northern Ireland.
