HC Deb 10 May 1983 vol 42 cc275-6W
Mr. Fitt

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many (a) civilians and (b) members of the security forces have lost limbs through terrorist activity in Northern Ireland since 1 July 1982; what was the nature of the injuries in each case; and what were their names, occupations, if any, and ages.

With regard to financial aid planned for 1983–84, I refer the hon. Member to the statement by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 9 March—[Vol. 38, c. 388–89] — when he announced his intention to provide the company with a further £7.4 million during this financial year. Shorts may also be eligible to benefit from certain other schemes operated by the Department of Economic Development for Northern Ireland and the Department of Industry. It is not possible at this stage to provide a forecast of assistance under these schemes.
