HC Deb 12 November 1996 vol 285 c188W
Mr. Robert McCartney

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the implications for his policies on peace and reconciliation of the IRA's continuing activities. [2628]

Mr. Ancram

The Government's declared aim is to achieve peace, prosperity and reconciliation in Northern Ireland by pursuing a range of complementary policies, including the search for a comprehensive political settlement which can command widespread support. This has been and will continue to be the Government's policy, irrespective of the level of IRA activity.
