HC Deb 24 July 1972 vol 841 cc236-7W
Mr. Molyneaux

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many applications have been made by residents in Belfast, Londonderry, Newry, Strabane, and Northern Ireland as a whole, respectively, to move house because they have been intitmidated, threatened or live in isolated areas.

Mr. Channon

The figures requested are not available. In the past month 137 families, mainly from the Belfast area, have been added to the Housing Executive's emergency housing list. The purpose of this list is to give priority to families who have to vacate their homes because of civil disturbances. While intimidation alone may be a reason for moving, there may be other reasons, including the level of disturbance in particular areas.
