To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the reply of 6 May, Official Report, column 623, to the hon. Member for Brent, East, who initiated the project known as Clockwork Orange; and for what purpose.

[holding answer 13 June 1988]: I understand that the term "Clockwork Orange" has been used to refer to certain allegations about illegal activities in Northern Ireland. I have nothing further to add to the reply I gave the hon. Member on 6 May 1988 at column 623.
