Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill
2:45 pm
Paul Goggins (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Northern Ireland Office; Wythenshawe and Sale East, Labour)
I have already made it clear that it is necessary to counter the threat of international terrorism. We discussed the matter extensively in the early stage of our deliberations. In clause 25, we seek to put in place powers that will enable the police and the Army to deal with the terrorist threat that is specific to Northern Ireland.
