Sir John Biggs-Davison
asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons imprisoned for scheduled offences have since been released.
Mr. Scott
The information is not available in the form requested. However, from 1 January 1979 until 2 February 1987, 5,667 persons have been imprisoned subsequent to conviction for scheduled offences in Northern Ireland. Of these 867 are still serving their sentences.
