Henry Bellingham – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Henry Bellingham on 2016-01-12.

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.

Mrs Theresa Villiers

The threat from Northern Ireland Related Terrorism is severe.

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.
