HC Deb 13 June 1985 vol 80 c535W
15. Mr. Yeo

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the security position in Northern Ireland.

16. Rev. William McCrea

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the latest security situation in Northern Ireland.

17. Mr. Maginnis

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the security situation in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Hurd

I refer my hon. Friend and the hon. Gentlemen to the answer I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Billericay (Mr. Proctor) earlier today.

22. Sir John Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what further steps he is taking to improve cross-border security in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Hurd

Because terrorists regularly exploit the existence of the border in their operations, cross-border security co-operation is an essential part of our campaign against terrorism. At present it is on the whole good, but we constantly seek to improve it. It would not be sensible to disclose in detail what action is taken.
