HL Deb 13 January 2005 vol 668 c75WA

Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:

What quantity and type of weaponry will need to be decommissioned by the Irish Republican Army in order that the acts of completion are concluded. [HL459]

Baroness Amos

The Independent International Commission on Decommissioning is the body responsible for overseeing decommissioning of paramilitary weaponry. The Prime Minister has stated clearly that all arms must be put beyond use through the IICD. The Government are actively working to create the conditions where complete decommissioning can take place.
