HC Deb 27 October 1987 vol 121 cc223-4W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people have had deductions made under the provisions of the Payment for Debt (Temporary Provisions) Act 1972 from moneys due to them from state bodies, in each year since the passage of the legislation, broken down according to religion and local authority area.

Mr. Stanley

Information on the number of people from whom deductions have been made under Payments for Debt (Emergency Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 in respect of moneys due to them from state bodies is not readily available in the form requested and could not be compiled except at disproportionate cost.
