Child Abuse

Mrs. May
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many Roman Catholic diocesan officials have been (a) interviewed by the police in Northern Ireland and (b) charged in relation to withholding evidence of clerical child sex abuse in the last 10 years.

Paul Goggins
I have been advised by the Police Service of Northern Ireland that the information sought is not available in the requested format. The information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
