§ Mr. Terlezkiasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many citizens from within European Economic Community countries have died over the past five years as a result of terrorists on land, sea and in the air; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarOur records show that 821 European Community citizens have died as a result of terrorism over the past five years (November 1981 to November 1986). 400 of these were United Kingdom citizens, of whom 381 were killed within the United Kingdom and 19 elsewhere in the world.
We and our other European Community partners have repeatedly condemned the use of terrorism and have taken wide-ranging measures to deter terrorists and their sponsors and to improve counter terrorist co-operation.
