HC Deb 10 December 2002 vol 396 c246W
Mrs. Iris Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what estimate he has made of the number of NIHE tenants who have sought alternative emergency re-housing in Northern Ireland due to intimidation by paramilitary organisations since 1998. [85754]

Mr. Browne

Where Northern Ireland Housing Executive tenants seek alternative accommodation because of intimidation they are treated as being homeless. In such cases information on the source of intimidation and on the tenure of the applicant is not recorded.

However since 1 April 1998, 6,740 households presented to the Housing Executive as homeless due to intimidation/civil disturbance.
