Mr. Rose
asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will present to Parliament a plan for the repeal of specific sections or the total of the Special Powers Act and the Flags and Emblems Act.
Mr. David Howell
My right hon. Friend made clear during the proceedings on the Northern Ireland (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1972 that he intends to review the Special Powers Act and the regulations made under it. This review has begun, but it is too early to present any conclusions to the House. There are no plans at present for reviewing the Flags and Emblems Act, 1954.
