§ Sir Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by whom, in the case of those full-time and part-time women reserve police offers who were adjudged to have been discriminated against by the Chief Constable of Northern Ireland, the cost of meeting the compensation awards and legal costs of both plaintiffs and the Chief Constable will be met; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ScottThe cost of compensation awards and legal costs of both plaintiffs and the Chief Constable will be met by the Police Authority for Northern Ireland. I have no more up-to-date information than that given to my hon. Friend on 6 April 1987 in response to his earlier questions. I have therefore nothing more to add to that reply.
