Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent assessment she has made of the threat to national security posed by terrorist organisations that continue to operate in Northern Ireland.

The safety of people and communities in Northern Ireland remains this Government’s highest priority. While the threat level remains at Severe, excellent co-operation between PSNI and its partners has disrupted the activity of terrorist groupings. There have been a number of significant arrests, charges and convictions which are helping to suppress the threat.
