Response to the Intelligence and Security Committee’s Northern Ireland-related Terrorism Report

On 05 October 2020, the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament (ISC) published their report entitled ‘Northern Ireland-Related Terrorism’ (NIRT). Our thoughts remain with those who have been impacted by the enduring threat of violence in Northern Ireland, in particular the friends and families of those who have lost their lives.

Today, the Government is publishing its response to this report.

I remain grateful to the Intelligence and Security Committee for its continued independent oversight and scrutiny. I would like to thank the former Committee for their work in the last Parliament, and I look forward to working with the appointed Committee in the future.

Copies of the Government responses have been laid before both Houses.
