Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the serial number of(a) the weapon used in the shooting of Private Neil Clerk in Derry on 23 April 1984, (b) the weapon used in the shooting of Martin Patten of the Royal Anglian Regiment on 21 September 1985 and (c) the weapon used in the shooting of army caterer Kurt Konig on 21 November 1985; in how many other attacks and on what dates each of these weapons are believed to have been used; and where and in whose keeping they are stored.

Mr. Ingram

While three persons were convicted of the murder of Private Clark, the investigations of the murders of Martin Patten and Kurt Konig remain open. To release any information in connection with them would not be appropriate, as it may prejudice any future legal proceedings.
