§ Rev. Martin SmythTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, pursuant to his answer of 25 March,Official Report, column 439, what is his policy in respect of the names of service personnel killed in Northern Ireland being inscribed on dedicated memorials; and what are the reasons for that policy. [25194]
§ Mr. MossThe policy in respect of existing war memorials is that only the names of those killed in a war may be inscribed on them. The civil disturbances in Northern Ireland have not been considered as a war situation. Policy in Northern Ireland, as outlined in existing legislation, is in line with that in Great Britain.
