Maudling's tendency to exude reassuring calmness in interviews, normally helpful to him, was damaging when he referred to reducing IRA violence to "an acceptable level", a remark widely regarded as a gaffe.
That August, Maudling reluctantly authorised the Northern Ireland government to introduce internment without trial for terror suspects, which caused widespread upheaval and anger among the nationalist population due to its exclusive use on that community, and was followed by a massive escalation in the level of violence.
Maudling's statement in the House of Commons after Bloody Sunday agreed with the British army's claim that the Parachute Regiment had only fired in self-defence, and so inflamed the nationalist MP Bernadette Devlin a witness to the events who was not called on to speak that she punched him.

 Review: The Life of Reginald Maudling by Lewis Baston | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books
Macleod's political career ended in early death, Maudling's in the half-world of disgrace that returned to flen his name long after the offences were committed.
Maudling told me that, when he drafted a passage on the subject for the leader's conference speech, Churchill told him: "I don't believe a word of it." Nevertheless he read out Maudling's draft to the appreciative, if bemused, party delegates.
Maudling regarded that early achievement in persuasion as evidence of his progressive views on economic policy.

 TIME.com: Maudling's Fall -- Jul 31, 1972 -- Page 1
Maudling's resignation came as Britain's Metropolitan Police were about to investigate the affairs of a Yorkshire architect named John Poulson, who declared himself bankrupt last year with debts of $595,000.
What precipitated Maudling's resignation last week was not the nature of his dealings with Poulson but the fact that he could not properly remain as Home Secretary while the police under his jurisdiction were delving into Poulson's affairs.
But between 1952 and 1964 Maudling held seven ministerial posts, including Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in 1965 he was narrowly defeated by Heath for the party leadership.

 Paul O'Flinn: Them and Us in Literature (10. Capitalism, Competition and King Lear)
In 1967 Reginald Maudling, the Tory politician who later was to become a world famous failure himself, put this whole argument in terms that may be taken as typical:
We must constantly encourage competition not simply because it is the best safeguard for the consumer but because if competition dies away so the spirit of pride and endeavour will die with it.
Reginald Maudling, of course, is a fool whereas William Shakespeare was not, so that when Shakespeare came to write a play about a competitive society he saw such a society as tragic.
