HC Deb 23 May 1979 vol 967 cc174-6W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many men, women and children have been murdered or permanently maimed by the IRA in the constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone since 1968.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

The records are maintained according to RUC divisional areas. In RUC divisions "L" and "M", whose area most closely approximates to that of the parliamentary constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, there have been 114 deaths as a result of terrorist activity since 1 January 1969. It is not possible, without disproportionate cost, to allocate responsibility between different terrorist organisations or to provide separate figures for men, women and children. Figures for injuries do not reflect the severity of the injury.
