§ Mr. Maginnisasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he has recently considered how farmers, who were living close to the frontier with the Irish Republic and were forced by Irish Republican Army activity to abandon their holdings in the mid-1970s, can now be compensated for loss of earnings in the same way as other businesses were at that time;
(2) if he has any plans to assist farmers, who were displaced by Irish Republican Army activity from their holdings close to the frontier with the Irish Republic, to return to their properties; and whether he believes their safety can now reasonably be assured.
