HC Deb 18 January 1984 vol 52 cc234-5W
Mr. Mason

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United States of America Government regarding involvement by bodies or persons from the United States of America in terrorist activities in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Whitney

We keep closely in touch with the United States authorities over involvement by United States bodies or persons in terrorist activity in Northern Ireland. We are grateful to them for their efforts in clamping down on the illegal activities of Provisional IRA sympathisers and in bringing gun-runners and suspected terrorists to court.
