Union Flag (Armagh RUC Station)

HC Deb 07 February 1996 vol 271 cc255-6W

Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if the Union flag was flown at Armagh RUC station on (i) Christmas day 1995 and (ii) new year's day 1996; and what arrangements have been made to fly the Union flag at Armagh RUC station on the remainder of the specified occasions in 1996. [11716]

Sir John Wheeler

I regret that the Union flag was not flown at Armagh RUC station on 25 December 1995 and 1 January 1996, due to an unfortunate oversight which will not occur again.

Arrangements have been made to ensure that the Union flag is flown, in accordance with RUC policy.
