Description

The Ulster Unionist Conference takes place at the Ulster Hall. Speakers include Brian McRoberts and Minister Bill Craig, who speaks on housing and refutes any allegations of wrong-doing. Sydney Buchanan speaks along the same lines. Certainly the main theme of the speeches here seems to be attacking Nationalists. 

Notes

Brian J. H. McRoberts (May 1931 – 1983) was a solicitor and Unionist politician in Northern Ireland. McRoberts was involved in controversy when his secretary, Emily Roberts, obtained a newly built three-bedroom council house in Dungannon, despite being unmarried and only nineteen years old, and while many Roman Catholic families had been waiting for housing for years. 

William "Bill" Craig (2 December 1924 – 25 April 2011) was a Northern Irish politician best known for forming the Unionist Vanguard movement.
