Public Officials (Security Threat)

Andrew Mackinlay: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether public officials have had to move house in Northern Ireland due to the danger of becoming victims of terrorism, since the police raid on Sinn Fein offices in Stormont in 2002; and if he will make a statement. [39602]

Mr. Woodward: As a result of the paramilitary intelligence gathering which police acted to prevent, hundreds of stolen documents were recovered. More than a thousand people had to be warned about their safety—some of whom moved house—and approximately £35 million was spent on protective measures.

Spy Ring (Stormont)

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the cost was to the Police Service of Northern Ireland of the investigation into those charged with running a spy ring at Stormont in 2002. [38707]

Mr. Woodward: To obtain an accurate breakdown of what has been a complex, multi-faceted and lengthy investigation would require careful and involved analysis by the PSNI. Such an answer could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Temporary Mobile Classrooms

David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many temporary mobile classrooms are in use in (a) controlled schools and (b) maintained schools in Northern Ireland. [39647]

Angela E. Smith: At 31 March 2005 there were 1,126 temporary classrooms in controlled schools and 1,220 maintained schools in Northern Ireland.

Sinn Fein Offices (Stormont)

Andrew Mackinlay: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland who authorised the police raid in 2002 on Sinn Fein offices in Stormont. [39603]

Mr. Woodward: The fact in this case is that a paramilitary organisation, namely the Provisional IRA, was actively involved in the systematic gathering of information and targeting of individuals.

Police investigated that activity and a police operation led to the recovery of thousands of sensitive documents that had been removed from government offices.

As part of the investigation, the Police Service of Northern Ireland required to search a number of offices at Stormont. These searches were conducted under the authority of a Schedule 5 Search Warrant that had been sought by a police officer and authorised by the relevant judicial authority.

Punishment Beatings

Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons were the subject of
 
9 Jan 2006 : Column 338W
 
paramilitary-style punishment attacks in each year of the current troubles; how many persons have been convicted in respect of such attacks; how many of those attacks remain unsolved; and how many of those attacks involved (a) firearms, (b) bladed instruments, (c) other weapons and (d) assault without weapons. [29547]

Mr. Woodward: The Police Service of Northern Ireland have advised that the only statistics held in relation to this matter can be found at the PSNI website, www.psni.police.uk and are set out as follows. You should note that statistics only date back to 1973 and that data are not held for convictions or weapons used. All statistics are provisional at this stage and may be subject to minor amendment.
