Mr. Wm. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many terrorists have been killed by the security forces in each county in Northern Ireland and in Belfast during 1975.

Mr. Wm. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons from Londonderry City and from Londonderry County have been before the courts for terrorist offences during 1975; and how many persons have been charged but not yet been before the court.
