HC Deb 19 November 1991 vol 199 c144W
Mr. Trimble

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the number of persons convicted of terrorist murder in each of the last five years indicating how many were actual triggermen or bombers and how many were lookouts, drivers or other accessories to the persons who directly executed the murder.

Dr. Mawhinney

The number of persons convicted of the scheduled offence of murder in each of the last five years is as follows:

Number
1986 24
1987 10
1988 12
1989 11
1990 8

I regret that information on the extent of each individual's involvement in the murder for which he-she was convicted is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
