To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps have been taken to give effect to the recommendations contained in the Stevens report.

Mr. Duffy

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many of the recommendations contained in the Stevens report are being acted upon.

Mr. Cope

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State indicated in his statement to the House on 17 May, at column 1027, action in relation to many of the matters to which Mr. Stevens drew attention in his recommendations has already been taken, or is in hand. All his other recommendations are now being followed up by the appropriate authorities.

22. Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what discussions he has had with the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary about the Stevens report since the limited publication of the report.

Mr. Cope

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and I regularly meet the Chief Constable and other senior RUC officers when we discuss a range of issues with which we are jointly concerned. Naturally, these issues have included the results of Mr. Stevens' inquiry. We are at one in our desire that a positive response should be made to his valuable report.
