<p>We are continuing to press for agreement on the full extension of the NCA’s remit
in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Justice Minister recently submitted a paper
to the Northern Ireland parties, which we believe should allay concerns about the
NCA’s accountability. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has pursued this
issue regularly in her meetings with the parties and continues to stress the importance
of ensuring that Northern Ireland receives the same protection from serious and organised
crime as the rest of the UK.</p><p> </p>
