asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that the Defence Forces handbook allows advertising space to a company (details supplied) which manufactures plastic bullets used by British Forces which have killed and maimed men, women and children in the North of Ireland; and if he will request the Defence Forces to withdraw advertising space in future from this firm.

The advertisement in question relates to a range of pyrotechnic equipment in use in the Defence Forces. I see no reason why suppliers of equipment to the Defence Forces should not advertise in the Defence Forces Handbook.
