[108843]
- Answer
-
There is no memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Defence and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on resourcing and deployment of the Army bomb disposal team in Northern Ireland. The armed forces provide specific niche Explosive Ordnance Disposal capabilities to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in support of the UK Government's aim to reduce the risk from terrorism. This support is provided above and beyond normal UK military aid to the civil authorities arrangements and is provided free of charge to the PSNI.
