asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how much compensation has been paid by the Government to loyalist detainees or ex-internees; and what claims are still outstanding;(2) how much compensation has been paid by the Government to IRA detainees and ex-internees; and what claims are still outstanding.

It is not possible to identify claimants who were, or are, detainees or ex-internees from other categories of claimant without a disproportionate use of staff time. No record is maintained of the particular affiliations of individual claimants.
