Derbyshire Constabulary has issued a special notice to neighbourhood watch entitled "Terrorism - the Threat". The leaflet asks people to remain alert and to report suspicious activity such as persons tendering large quantities of high denomination banknotes. One section of the leaflet has been attacked as blatantly racist by the Irish in Britain Representation Group. Derbyshire Constabulary advises: "Persons with Irish accents. They are not all criminals." Sunday Tribune, 31.3.96.
