HC Deb 16 May 1986 vol 97 cc562-3W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the general trend in the levels of numbers of serving members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary about whom recruitment inquiries have been made by police forces in Great Britain in the past three years.

Mr. Scott

[pursuant to his reply, 13 May 1986, c. 425]: Detailed statistics on the number of recruitment inquiries received from GB forces about Royal Ulster Constabulary officers are not available prior to 1 January 1986 and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. From 1 January to 2 May 1986 the number of recruitment inquiries from GB forces in respect of Royal Ulster Constabulary officers was 43.
