HL Deb 24 October 2000 vol 618 c24WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in view of the threat posed by dissident Republicans, they will outline measures to increase further security along the border in Northern Ireland. [HL3977]

Lord Falconer of Thoroton

Security along the border in Northern Ireland is kept at a level consistent with the threat posed from terrorists from whatever quarter who are opposed to the peace process. Any changes to the security arrangements are made as appropriate by the chief constable in line with his assessment of the level of threat prevailing at the time.
