Wednesday 20th January 2016
Asked by:
Lord Bellingham (Conservative - Life peer)
Question
to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent assessment she has made of the security situation in Northern Ireland; and if she will make a statement.
Answered by Theresa Villiers

It is being suppressed by the hard work of PSNI and MI5. Because of their efforts, the number of national security attacks has fallen from 40 in 2010 to 16 in 2015. But the need for total vigilance remains and will continue.
