To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the cost to date of implementing the provisions of the Northern Ireland Arms Decommissioning Act 1997. [88811]

§ Mr. Ingram
It is not possible to give the exact total cost to date as the expenditure incurred by the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning is shared with the Irish Government. To date, the British Government have contributed £1,099,439, which represents approximately 50 per cent. of the total cost.
