Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the current investigations into the killing of Mr. Antony Hughes at Loughgall on 8th May 1987 will be completed and whether they will establish an independent inquiry under a legally qualified Chairman into all the deaths at Loughgall on 8th May 1987.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Northern Ireland Office (Lord Lyell)

The investigation into the circumstances of the incident at Loughgall on 8th May 1987 is a matter for the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. He will report the result of the police inquiries to the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland. It is then for the director to decide whether any further action is necessary.
