HC Deb 05 June 1986 vol 98 c634W
20. Mr. Bell

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

Mr. Tom King

Recently there has been a number of serious terrorist incidents close to the Border in Northern Ireland. These emphasise the importance of the steady development of closer co-operation between the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Garda Siochana which has been set in hand under the Anglo-Irish agreement.
