The dissident Ulster Unionist MP for East Derry, Mr Willie Ross, has condemned the North's Security Minister, Mr Adam Ingram, for refusing to divulge details of paramilitary prisoners released early under the terms of the Belfast Agreement.

Mr Ross said he had received a letter from Mr Ingram saying he had decided the prison service should continue not to release specific details about individual prisoners because the issues of privacy, confidentiality and security took precedence.
