(2) whether, in the light of the circumstances surrounding the terrorist killing of Royal Ulster Constabulary Inspector Derek Monteith in Armagh, there has been a review of the level of threat at which home security measures become available to members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary; and if the criteria have changed.
§ Mr. Cope[holding answer 23 March 1990]: The personal safety of members of the security forces living at home in Northern Ireland is kept under constant review by the appropriate service authorities. It would not be appropriate for me to indicate publicly what measures have been or may be taken.
§ Mr. MaginnisTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether, in his consultations with the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, he is regularly briefed on the various sources of threat to members of the police force in Northern Ireland.
