HC Deb 18 March 1981 vol 1 cc130-1W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether representations have been made to the new Administration in the United States of America about the embargo placed on the supply of materials to the Royal Ulster Constabulary; and what replies have been received.

Sir Ian Gilmour

I can assure my hon. Friend that the new United States Administration are aware of the Government's views on this matter. However, I remind my hon. Friend that, as my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said in the House on 3 March, the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary has advised that the force has sufficient arms for its present requirements. —[Vol. 1000, c. 130.]
