Mr. Wm Ross
asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons have escaped from either prisons or from police custody in Northern Ireland in each of the last five years; how many of these persons were imprisoned for, or charged with, terrorist type offences; how many were known to be members of the IRA; and how many were known to be members of a Protestant para-military organisation.
Mr. Merlyn Rees
The answer to this Question is still being prepared. I shall write to the hon. Member in due course.
