HL Deb 08 January 2002 vol 630 c104WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many incidents have occurred in (a) Northern Ireland and (b) Great Britain which they believe are the responsibility of (i) the Real IRA, (ii) the Continuity IRA, (iii) the Provisional IRA and (iv) other republican groups in each of the years since 1993. [HL1803]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Security statistics do not assign attribution for terrorist incidents to specific paramilitary groupings. Therefore, it has not been possible to supply the level of detail asked. However, I have attached separate statistics for terrorist incidents attributed to republican paramilitary groups for Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Northern Ireland security statistics for loyalist terrorist incidents have also been provided for comparison.
