HC Deb 03 November 2003 vol 412 c403W
Mr. Dodds

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what his assessment is of the Provisional IRA's capacity to carry out(a) targeting, (b) intimidation and (c) racketeering activities in Northern Ireland. [134633]

Jane Kennedy

Under Part II, Paragraph 1 a of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information (Information whose disclosure would harm national security or defence), it would be inappropriate for the Government to comment as the information requested by the hon. Gentleman is only available from intelligence sources.

We now call on all paramilitary organisations to bring a complete and permanent end to paramilitary activity in all its forms.
