Description

Colonel Peter Hicks talks to Peter Russell about police comments on the time lag for them to be called to the bomb attack on Tern Hill barracks in Shropshire. He says the immediate response was to secure the safety of the soldiers, the police were called in due course and the terrorists would not have been caught no matter what.
