HC Deb 09 March 1989 vol 148 c627W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what recent information he has on the extent of popular support in favour of devolved government for Northern Ireland.

Mr. Tom King

I am anxious to establish more precisely the degree of support in the Province for political progress. For that reason and with the assistance of my hon. Friend the Member for Peterborough (Dr. Mawhinney) I am exploring with the parties and interested groups the possibilities for political movement. A copy of my speech given to the Belfast East Rotarions on 14 February has been place in the Library.
