§ Rev. Ian PaisleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many(a) child abuse and (b) rape allegations have been made against teachers in each of the last five years; how many cases have not been proceeded with; and in how many cases the teacher has been found guilty.
§ Sir John WheelerThe RUC does not hold any statistics relating to allegations as there may be many which are never investigated because no formal complaint is made.
In cases where a prosecution ensues, RUC statistics show persons proceeded against but, in normal circumstances occupation is not recorded.
