HC Deb 11 November 1999 vol 337 cc744-5W
Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many prisoners released under the accelerated prisoner release scheme have since been arrested in connection with terrorist-related offences. [97747]

Mr. Ingram

[holding answer 8 November 1999]: While offences are under investigation it is not always clear whether they are terrorist related.

In none of the cases where prisoners released under the scheme have since been arrested is there conclusive evidence to confirm the offence was terrorist related.
