Northern Ireland

Asked for more details on the statement on Northern Ireland that the Prime Minister was due to make on Wednesday, the PMOS replied that the statement was about setting out the distinct separate roles of the police service and the security service in Northern Ireland. Essentially this was about providing reassurance that there would not be, as some would regard, a force within a force i.e. police working in the security service who would not be accountable to local politicians should the assembly return.
