§ Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary as to actions taken by the Royal Ulster Constabulary to deal with parades and demonstrations by armed members of the majority community in the last week; how many arrests occurred; and how many prosecutions have resulted.
§ Mr. PriorThere have been no arrests in respect of persons taking part in parades or demonstrations during the past week, but police investigations into some of these occurrences are continuing. I have every confidence in the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and I see no need to call for a report from him on these events.
