§ Mr. Stephen Rossasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what terms were imposed in connection with the recent Democratic Unionist party rally in Trafalgar square.
§ Mr. MacfarlanePermission was given, not for a Democratic Unionist party rally in Trafalgar Square, but for a public meeting organised by the Apprentice Boys of Derry (Londonderry) Thames and Avon branch Murray Club on 17 November.
The organisers assured my Department that this would be a prayer meeting with hymns, not a political rally. However, in the light of what took place I have instructed my Department to pursue with the organisers what appears to be a breach of their undertaking.
