Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will list by name those persons whose deaths have been attributed to the Provisional Irish Republican Army or related illegal organisations from Northern Ireland in Scotland in each of the years since 1970 to the present, giving their age, sex, marital status, children, occupation and cause of death;

(2) if he will list by name those persons whose deaths have been attributed to illegal Loyalist organisations from Northern Ireland in Scotland in each of the years since 1970 to the present, giving their age, sex, marital status, children, occupation and cause of death.

Mr. Rifkind

There is no separate classification in the statistics collected by my Department for homicides committed by organisations proscribed in prevention of terrorism legislation. It is not thought that there have been any homicides of this kind in Scotland in the period mentioned in the question.
