HC Deb 21 May 1992 vol 208 cc243-4W
25. Mr. Bowis

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress has been made in the past six months in tackling the financing of terrorism.

Mr. Mates

The Government attach a very high priority to cutting off sources of terrorist finance and are pressing on to implement the hard-hitting confiscation scheme contained in the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1991. The other financial provisions of that Act have already been brought into use.
