HC Deb 14 December 1995 vol 268 c799W
Mr. Allason

To ask the Secretary of Stae for Northern Ireland what assessment he has made of the statement of a Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers NCO contained in the "The Nemesis File." [4864]

Sir John Wheeler

I have not read this book, but I am aware the Ministry of Defence issued a statement at the time of the book's publication expressing serious doubts about the author's claim to have been a member of the SAS. In view of the nature of the allegations, however, the RUC serious crime squad will investigate the claims made in the book.
