§ Lembit ÖpikTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the Government's policy on domestic terrorism following 11 September and the declaration of an international war on terrorism; and if he will make a statement. [7894]
§ Mr. BlunkettI have been asked to reply.
The Prime Minister has made it quite clear that we will take all the action we judge necessary to deal with terrorism wherever it occurs—whether inside the United Kingdom or outside, or whether it is international or domestic. I would refer the hon. Member to the statement I made on 15 October 2001, Official Report, column 923, which sets out some of that action relating both to international and domestic terrorism.
