§ Mr. Bellasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland why security staff have been withdrawn from the Victoria barracks flats complex.
§ Mr. NeedhamThis is a matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive but I understand from the100W chairman that the executive's employment of specialist security staff at Victoria barracks was discontinued in January 1986 when it became clear that the service, which had been provided for some 18 months, was ineffective in preventing both vandalism to the communal areas and the illegal occupation of some flats.
