Northern Ireland Bill

The IMC report published today shows—I hope that the hon. Gentleman will read all of it if he has not had a chance to do so—that if the Provisional IRA has dismantled its military structure and capability to act violently, one of the consequences is that its capability to sort out CIRA and RIRA, as he seems to be inviting it to do, disappears, if it is not completely or partially diminished. The people who should sort out CIRA and RIRA—we are doing this—are the security forces, the police, the Security Service and, where appropriate, the Army, as happened recently in Lurgan. That is the course on which we are embarked.
