HC Deb 14 November 1985 vol 86 c245W
5. Mr. Dubs

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

Mr. Tom King

I welcome the co-operation that exists between the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Garda Siochana in combating terrorism on both sides of the border. Although such co-operation at a working level is good, we intend to take every opportunity to improve it further. I also welcome close co-operation with Irish Ministers in areas where we can work together to our mutual benefit.

21. Rev. Ian Paisley

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

Mr. Tom King

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave to a question by the right hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Mr. Molyneaux).
