HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 c428W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total number of persons killed by Irish terrorist action in Ulster in the last 11 years; and if he will show separately the numbers presumed Protestant and the numbers presumed Roman Catholic, calculated on the basis favoured by the Fair Employment Agency.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

The total number of persons killed by terrorist action in Northern Ireland in the last 11 years is 1,833. It would not be possible except at disproportionate cost to undertake the inquiries necessary to make the calculations requested in the latter part of the question.
