9. Angela Watkinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many acts of decommissioning have taken place in Northern Ireland since April 1998. [134151]

Jane Kennedy

In 1998 the Loyalist Volunteer Force carried out an act of decommissioning in Northern Ireland. The IRA have carried out three acts of decommissioning (2001, 2002 and 2003) but I am not in a position to comment on where these events took place.
