HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 c334W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arms have been found since 31st March in security searches; and how many of these were found in possession of "Republican" and "Loyalists", respectively.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The information requested is as follows:

able and it would take a disproportionate amount of effort to provide the information. 26 people released from detention since 7th November 1972 have been detained for a second time. Of these 19 were released by Commissioners and seven by my predecessor. These seven were among the 65 detainees released at Christmas 1973.
