asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) whether he has any plans to arrange for staff of his Department to be screened for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus;(2) whether any current or former staff of his Department have been found to have developed AIDS or antibodies to HIV;(3) what steps he has taken to ensure that staff of his Department are warned about those homosexual and other activities which are deemed to involve a high risk of AIDS infection.

I shall reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
