HC Deb 23 July 1996 vol 282 c258W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on current levels of acts of intimidation against members of the community committed by(a) republicans and (b) loyalists. [39043]

Sir John Wheeler

It is not possible to sub-divide acts of intimidation into those committed by republicans and those committed by loyalists. However, during the period 0600 on 7 July to 0600 on 16 July, the RUC received reports of 89 cases of intimidation of police personnel and 251 complaints from civilians.
