HL Deb 29 June 1995 vol 565 c61WA
Lord Swinfen

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether a Board of Inquiry has been held into how Corporal Robert Strong of 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment was seriously injured on 19th August 1992; what were the findings; and whether any disciplinary action has been taken, or is contemplated, against any Serviceman.

Lord Henley

A Board of Inquiry was not held. The incident was investigated by the Royal Ulster Constabulary; the Director of Public Prosecutions (Northern Ireland) considered the papers, and decided that there should be no prosecution. A soldier was disciplined by his Commanding Officer for offences relating to the incident.
