§ Rev. Ian PaisleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are the reasons for the delay in the report on the ESDA test on the evidence relating to the case concerning four members of the Ulster Defence Regiment from Armagh, and ordered by the chief constable on 31 July.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe report has been delayed by the need to subject a large volume of material to detailed and thorough examination; but I understand that the work is now virtually complete and that the Northern Ireland forensic laboratory expects to be able to submit its findings to the Royal Ulster Constabulary shortly.
