Question to the Ministry of Defence:

What assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the findings of the Ballymurphy Inquest.

The PM has apologised on behalf of the Government to the families of those who died in Ballymurphy in August 1971. I am deeply sorry for the loss of all 1900 civilians killed during the troubles. Most at the hands of the terrorists, as well as the loss of RUC and Army personnel, the vast majority served with distinction and bravery.
