§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has yet received a full report from the South African Government in respect of the two South African defence force agents arrested in the United Kingdom in April; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe received an interim report from the South African authorities in June. Investigations are continuing. One of the two South African officers has been dismissed from service. Other disciplinary action may be taken when enquiries in South Africa are complete. The South African Government have undertaken to provide full details of any links between South Africans and loyalist extremists in Northern Ireland.
