§ Mr. Michael Brownasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he is satisfied with the effectiveness of the means by which Her Majesty's Government policy towards the demands made by the hunger strikers in the Maze prison is publicised; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Humphrey AtkinsI am satisfied that maximum effort is made within the United Kingdom and abroad to publicise the Government's policy. This is done in a number of ways and I am in no doubt from my reading of a very wide range of editorial comment that the Government's policy is now more clearly understood.
