§ Mr. LivingstoneTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable of the RUC on the progress of police inquiries into the identification of the person alleged to have attempted to murder Mr. Peter Duggan in Downpatrick in January 1985.
§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 3 March 1992]: There is no record of an attempt to murder Mr. Peter Duggan in Downpatrick in January 1985. The circumstances surrounding the attack on him in January 1988 in the Downpatrick area have been investigated by the RUC, and two women were convicted in September 1988 of the false imprisonment of Mr. Duggan. Apart from this, the Director of Public Prosecutions has considered police reports of their investigations into this incident and has directed no prosecution.
