§ 10. Sir Nicholas WintertonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress has been made on arms decommissioning. [160826]
§ Jane KennedyFour acts of decommissioning have taken place to date—one carried out by the LVF and three by PIRA. The latest decommission act occurred on 21 October 2003 in which the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning confirmed they witnessed a third event in which IRA weapons were put beyond use. The quantity of arms involved was larger than the quantity put beyond use in the previous event.
