HC Deb 27 November 1991 vol 199 c562W
Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many soldiers serving in Northern Ireland were taken into military custody in Northern Ireland since January 1991.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Three soldiers have been bailed on condition that they were held in military custody for alleged civil offences committed whilst serving in Northern Ireland.

The statistics for the number of soldiers placed in military custody for military offences is not held centrally and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
