§ Mr. Bradfordasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, since 23 August 1969, how many persons who had been summoned to give evidence or who had given evidence for the Crown in terrorist offences in Northern Ireland have been murdered; and in how many 724W cases the Crown has been unable to proceed withy charges for terrorist offences in Northern Ireland because of the reluctance of persons to give evidence for the Crown.
§ Mr. Humphrey AtkinsRecords are not maintained which would indicate whether persons murdered in Northern Ireland had been summoned to give evidence or had given evidence for the Crown in terrorist offences.
With regard to the second part of the question, I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. Member by my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General on 14 January 1980.
