HC Deb 26 April 1995 vol 258 c569W
Ms Mowlam

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many arrests were made in Northern Ireland in each year since 1991. [20480]

Sir John Wheeler

Figures for all arrests are not held centrally and to obtain these would incur disproportionate cost. Arrests under the Police and Criminal Evidence Order and section 14 of the Prevention of Terrorism Act are set out below:

PACE Section 14 PTA
1991 145 1,620
1992 267 1,748
1993 441 1,640
1994 628 1,503
