HC Deb 06 June 1985 vol 80 cc247-8W
Mr. Maginnis

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what percentage of commercial explosives recovered in Ulster can be traced back to the Irish Republic; and if he will define this in terms of weight.

Mr. Hurd

[pursuant to his reply, 3 June 1985, c. 85]: In 1984, 94.94 per cent. of commercial explosives recovered in Northern Ireland were manufactured for distribution in the Republic of Ireland. This represented 82.4 kilos out of a total of 86.79 kilos recovered.
