HC Deb 22 November 2000 vol 357 c225W
Mr. Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assessment he has made of links between the 32 County Sovereignty Committee and the Real IRA. [139173]

Mr. Ingram

With regard to the relationship between the 32 County Sovereignty Committee and the Real IRA, the Government believe that they are two sides of the same coin. The 32 County Sovereignty Committee is RIRA's political wing, and as such the two are inextricably linked.
