asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many police, reserve police, full-time members of the Ulster Defence Regiment and part-time UDR (male and female) there are, respectively; how much money is being paid to each; and what is the total amount being spent on security in Northern Ireland.

On 30th June 1975 the respective strengths were:

	Men	Women	Total
RUC	4,345	306	4,651
RUC Reserve:

Part-time	3,605	635	4,240
UDR:
Full-time	1,456	13	1,469
Part-time	5,597	605	6,202

For the current financial year, the estimated expenditure on pay and remuneration is as follows:

	£
RUC	25,941,000
RUC Reserve	4,713,000
UDR Full-time	2,850,000
UDR Part-time	4,375,000

A figure for the total amount being spent by private and public bodies on security in Northern Ireland is not available. However, the total this financial year will include an estimated £45,532,000 for police services and £2,327,000 for the civilian search unit. Last year, the extra cost of military operations in Northern Ireland was approximately £45,000,000; this included the full cost of the Ulster Defence Regiment.
