Heath shifts Northern Ireland to direct rule from London
British Prime Minister Heath announced in the House of Commons that direct rule over Northern Ireland would be transferred from Stormont to Westminster for an initial year. A new Secretary of State, William Whitelaw, would lead, with a commission to aid him. Army reinforcements were planned if trouble grows, and internment would be phased out. Catholic reception in the province was mixed, while Ulster leaders warned against loss of Stormont power. Loyalist protests erupted in Belfast as political reactions varied across communities.
