HC Deb 19 October 1976 vol 917 c382W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will require those who are awarded damages in respect of interrogation in Northern Ireland, but who have removed themselves to the Republic of Ireland, to return to Northern Ireland before paying the damages; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

No. Where damages have been awerded by a court or a settlement is reached out of court, the plaintiff may receive the money whether or not he is in the United Kingdom.
