Bomb Disposal
- Question
-
(2) what recent assessment he has made of the liaison between the Police Service for Northern Ireland and army bomb disposal teams in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement;
[109046]
Vernon Coaker:
- Answer
-
Explosive Ordnance Disposal in Northern Ireland is provided by the military in support of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. I understand that there is a high level of cooperation on this very important matter and that the excellent working relationship allows for the delivery of a high quality of service as and when the need arises.
The operation and funding of equipment and support for these teams is a matter for the Secretary of State for Defence, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede
and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), who I meet regularly to discuss a range of issues, including the deployment of the Ammunition Technical Officers in Northern Ireland.
