Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 16 July 2014 in the House of Lords, by Baroness Randerson (Liberal Democrat).

Northern Ireland: National Crime Agency

Answer: My Lords, we fully support the efforts of the Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford to secure the support of the parties for the full extension of the NCA’s remit to Northern Ireland. We want to see an early resolution of this issue to avoid serious gaps emerging in law enforcement in Northern Ireland in areas where there is deep public concern, such as drug enforcement, human trafficking and other forms of serious criminality.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 16 July 2014 by Lord Empey (Ulster Unionist Party).

Question: To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect the National Crime Agency to be fully operational in Northern Ireland.
