HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 cc74-5W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will publish the roll of honour of members of the security forces murdered by terrorists in South Armagh, and of those injured there by terrorist action, during the present troubles.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 4th December 1975; Vol. 901, c. 681], gave the following reply:

It would be invidious to single out those members of the security forces who have given their lives in one particular area of Northern Ireland. Details of those members of Her Majesty's Forces killed in the Province as a whole prior to 8th February 1975 were given by my hon. Friend the Minister of State for Defence on 21st June 1974 and by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Defence for the Army on 3rd March 1975. I will as soon as possible update this information and extend it to cover the police. It would require the expenditure of disproportionate time and effort to assemble comparable information on those injured.—[Vol. 875, c. 269–76; Vol. 887, c. 315–18.]
