HC Deb 02 February 2004 vol 417 c751W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when Jonathan Russell of the Royal Irish Regiment was arrested by the Police Service of Northern Ireland; when he was charged with offences arising from the protests in Portadown in July 2002; what rank of officer made representations on his behalf connected with the bail application; what rank of officer was responsible for overseeing his behaviour while on bail: and what internal disciplinary action has been taken following conviction. [150607]

Mr. Ingram

John Russell was not in the Army at the time of his conviction. Issues relating to his arrest, charge and bail are matters for the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Civil Courts.
