HC Deb 16 December 1971 vol 828 c166W
70. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many detainees in Northern Ireland have been released; and what proportion this is of the total detained.

Mr. Sharples

I understand that of 1,576 arrested in Northern Ireland under the Special Powers Act between 9th August and 14th December, 934 have been released, i.e., about three-fifths.
