Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Paul Goggins (Labour). It was answered by Theresa Villiers (Conservative) on Wednesday, 16 October 2013 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.


National Crime Agency

Question

What recent discussions she has had with the Justice Minister of the Northern Ireland Executive on the remit of the National Crime Agency in Northern Ireland.

Answer

My most recent discussion with the Justice Minister concerning the remit of the National Crime Agency took place on 9 October. The NCA will provide

support and expertise to partners in Northern Ireland in a number of areas. We are keen to extend its remit to cover crime falling within devolved responsibilities, if agreement can be reached on this within the Northern Ireland Executive.
