Proceeding contribution from Adrian Bailey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Devolution (Northern Ireland).


Devolution (Northern Ireland)

May I join others in congratulating my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on the success in what must have been an incredibly gruelling process of negotiations? May I also welcome the steps in further decommissioning that have been undertaken by bodies in Northern Ireland? Although I recognise that this devolution process will send a very powerful signal to the remaining violent dissidents in Northern Ireland, what assessment has he made in practical terms of the new arrangements in dealing with those who might still wish to pursue the course of violence?
