Proceeding contribution from Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

As my hon. Friend will know, reports from the Independent Monitoring Commission and from those on the ground acknowledge the existence of a continuing serious threat from the Continuity IRA and the Real IRA. Does he accept that anyone holding ministerial office in any Executive will have to support the police force in the execution of its duty, and support the forces of law and order in the defeat of terrorism? Terrorism has been the scourge of Northern Ireland for so many years that we cannot be ambivalent about the future.
