The hon. Gentleman is right; we know of the connection between organised criminality and those who in the past may have been involved in paramilitary activity. However, I assure the hon. Gentleman that the Organised Crime Task Force brings all those agencies together to defeat those involved in organised crime. Indeed, yesterday I chaired a meeting of the Organised Crime Task Force stakeholder group, which brings business and law enforcement groups together. We will deal with organised crime, in order to eradicate it from Northern Ireland.

I am grateful to the Minister for that considered and rational reply, but is there not a danger that acts of terrorism, which have dominated Northern Ireland in recent decades, could well be replaced by crimes committed by organisations? That would undermine the peace and stability that have recently come to Northern Ireland.

Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement regarding the Northern Ireland
Organised Crime Task Force. [196179]
Mr. Pearson: The Organised Crime Task Force provides the strategic framework for the law enforcement agencies to share views on
intelligence flows and operational details, and to agree priorities for tackling organised crime in Northern Ireland.
The task force is actively engaged with over 40 agencies and has formed significant links with the private sector to develop new
initiatives in response to specific crime types. This is a clear example of effective partnership working at a local level.

Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on organised crime in Northern
Ireland. [196181]
Mr. Pearson: The levels of organised criminality remain unacceptably high in Northern Ireland. The Organised Crime Task Force Threat
Assessment, which was published on 11 May 2004, indicated that approximately 235 organised criminal gangs operate in Northern
Ireland.
The partner agencies of the task force continue to have significant success against organised criminal gangs. Every seizure, arrest
and conviction further disrupts and frustrates the efforts of organised criminal gangs and I pay tribute to PSNI, Customs and the
Assets Recovery Agency for their on-going effectiveness and commitment to tackle this problem.

Mr. Pearson: The Organised Crime Task Force (OCTF) Threat Assessment, which was launched on 11 May 2004, clearly indicated
that all Northern Ireland based paramilitary groups remain involved in organised crime, particularly in respect of counterfeiting,
drugs, oils fraud, extortion, money laundering, robbery and illegal tobacco.
The IMC reports of 20 April and 4 November also provide a clear assessment of the criminal activities of all
paramilitary groups.
The Organised Crime Task Force provides the strategic framework for the law enforcement agencies to share intelligence and agree
priorities for tackling organised crime in Northern Ireland. The effectiveness of this approach is clearly evidenced by the partner
agencies' continuing successes against organised criminal gangs.
