Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons with addresses in Londonderry city are at present serving prison sentences for terrorist offences.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

There is no ready definition of what is or is not a terrorist offence. There are, however, 103 persons with home addresses in Londonderry city at present serving prison sentences following conviction on charges relating to murder and the use of firearms or explosives.
