asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what evidence he has that funds provided by Noraid are being used to support terrorism in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

In April 1982 Noraid was found by a United States court to be an agent of the Provisional IRA. While the House would not expect me to go into detail, all the information available to the Government since then confirms that Noraid directly or indirectly helps to finance the IRA's terrorist campaign. During my recent visit to the United States I took every opportunity to condemn Noraid activities and urge the people of the United States not to contribute to them.
