The Government is being urged to press Downing Street for answers following fresh claims of British Army collusion with loyalists during the seventies.

A new book by a former UVF man alleges that a unit of the army - known as the Military Recognisance Force - trained members of the loyalist group.

'Killing for Britain' - which is published under the pseudonym 'John Black' - claims this unit also planned a series of attacks throughout the decade, including the Miami Showband Massacre in 1975.
