To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arms and explosives have been decommissioned; by which groups; and under what circumstances. [81301]
The LVF decommissioning event which took place on 18 December last year was a positive and significant act. The Independent International Commission on Decommissioning verified and destroyed sub-machine guns, rifles, handguns, ammunition, explosive devices and detonators. I urge the LVF to continue and other paramilitary groups to start decommissioning now.
