Edward Carson Jr, the son of Lord Edward Carson departs Aldergrove airport for London, following his decision not to stand for election in North Belfast. He complains about the treatment he has received at the hands of the Irish press following the announcement of his intention to run in the election. 

Mr Carson disagrees with the stand taking by PM Terence O’Neill, viewing it as weak. He had been going to contest the election in North Belfast where established MP Stratton Mills would be standing, against Labour candidate David Overend but withdrew at the last minute. It had been feared his nomination would have caused a split in the Unionist vote in the constituency.
