§ 27. Mr. Nicholas WintertonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he expects the process of decommissioning of illegal weapons and explosives to be completed. [42029]
§ Jane KennedyThe Independent International Commission on Decommissioning reported, on 23 October 2001, that it had witnessed an event, which it regarded as significant, in which the IRA had put a quantity of arms completely beyond use.
We now want to see further decommissioning by the IRA, and decommissioning by all other terrorist groups. The timing of any future decommissioning events is a matter for the IICD.
