Policing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007

I shall not go into details—though I may find some other way of communicating them to her—but I can think of one incident where something in the ombudsman’s report will compromise or make more difficult the activities of the intelligence services here in dealing with today’s and tomorrow’s terrorist threat. Their capability has been seriously affected by the revelation in that report of a particular aspect of the methodology being used here. I shall find some other way of communicating. It is not wise to go further on this matter.
