HC Deb 19 November 1991 vol 199 c146W
Mr. Harry Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the total number of terrorist incidents there have been since 1970; and which paramilitary organisations have either claimed respon-sibility for them or have been attributed responsibility.

Dr. Mawhinney

[holding 7 November 1991]: It is not known precisely how many terrorist incidents there have been since 1970, nor is it always known which paramilitary organisation was responsible. I refer the hon. Member to the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary's annual reports, which gave details of some of the information requested.
