§ 18. Sir Teddy TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what evidence has emerged over the last 12 months of new supplies of weapons, ammunition, or finance being provided to the Provisional IRA and other terrorist groups from foreign nations or agencies controlled by such nations; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Patrick MayhewI am aware of no evidence of such supplies in the past 12 months, but a number of the atrocities committed in that period have undoubtedly involved arms and explosives supplied by the Libyans before the seizure of the Eksund in 1987.
