§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are the rules governing the use of the CRO form by the RUC; what protection exists for 609W vulnerable witnesses against its misuse; and how many CRO forms were completed by how many individuals in the last year for which figures are available. [67435]
§ Mr. Ingram[holding answer 2 February 1999]: The RUC use a number of different forms associated with the Criminal Records Office (CRO). Unfortunately it is not clear to which of these my hon. Friend refers and it is not therefore possible to answer his question. If he would care to write giving further details I will ensure he receives a full response, a copy of which will be placed in the library.
