HC Deb 28 July 1981 vol 9 c443W
Mr. Peter Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many parades took place on Easter Sunday, 19 April, in Northern Ireland; by whom they were organised; for which parades the statutory notice was given by the organisers to the Royal Ulster Constabulary; and how many prosecutions have resulted.

Mr. Alison

A total of 22 parades not requiring prior notification to the Royal Ulster Constabulary are known to have been held in Northern Ireland on 19 April. 21 of these were organised by the National Graves or Sinn Fein Associations and one by the Faith Mission Society. One parade in respect of which prior notification ought to have been given to the Royal Ulster Constabulary is known to have been held. It was organised as part of the anti H-Block campaign. No prosecution has resulted.
