§ Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what consideration has been given to proposals that the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic be wired off.
§ Mr. ScottAny practical proposals for improving security in Northern Ireland are always given serious consideration. However, it is the opinion of the security forces that border security can best be maintained by foot and mobile patrols, vehicle checks, covert operations and selected border road closures.
