HC Deb 06 March 1973 vol 852 c104W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and of the Royal Ulster Constabulary Reserve have been killed since 1st January 1969; how many have been injured; and how many have been hospitalised for more than one week as a result of their injuries.

Mr. David Howell

Thirty-two members of the RUC and four members of the RUC Reserve were killed up to 3rd March 1973.

Between 1st July 1970 and 3rd March 1973 446 members of the RUC and RUC Reserve received injuries requiring hospital treatment. It would require a disproportionate effort to determine how many of these men had to stay in hospital for more than one week.

Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many Royal Ulster Constabulary constables and higher ranks have resigned to take up police work in Great Britain since 1st January 1969.

Mr. David Howell

Thirty-eight constables and six sergeants.
