§ Mr. Andrew F. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what computer links exist, or are planned, for the Royal Ulster Constabulary to the existing police national computer or PNII.
§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 29 November 1991]: The Royal Ulster Constabulary does not have direct access to the police national computer, but can obtain information from it indirectly by arrangement with police forces in Great Britain. It is anticipated that the RUC will become an on-line user of PNC II in the near future; in the meantime, a link has been established for training purposes.
