HC Deb 28 October 2002 vol 391 c632W
Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the recent National Crime Intelligence Service report. [73852]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

The National Criminal Intelligence Service published their annual assessment of the threat to the United Kingdom from serious and organised crime on 22 July. The assessment, based on available information and intelligence, is important in providing an authoritative statement on the threat and informing the Government's response to it.
