Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many police officers are involved in the investigation of the murder of Mr. Patrick Kelly, at Trillick, Co. Tyrone, on 10 August 1974. [178385]

Mr. Pearson

The deployment of resources is a matter for the Chief Constable. Police have confirmed that the investigation into the murder of Mr. Kelly requires substantial resourcing. The actual number of officers deployed at any given time varies according to the most efficient use of resources within the Crime Operations Department.
