HC Deb 22 December 1976 vol 923 cc180-1W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many RUC officers above the rank of sergeant have resigned during each of the last four years.

Mr. Dunn

Thirteen in 1975 and 24 in 1976—up to 30th November. The figures include retirements on pension before reaching the age limit and other voluntary resignations, but exclude compulsory retirements on age or medical grounds. Such statistics have only been maintained since 1st January 1975, and comparable figures for 1973 and 1974 could not be provided without incurring unreasonable expense and effort.
