answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text <p>The National Crime Agency (NCA) operates UK-wide but as a result of not securing legislative consent the activities of the NCA in Northern Ireland are restricted. Under current arrangements the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is able to access information and advice from the NCA including from its Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Command. What is missing, however, is access to operational support.</p><p>This government is disappointed by the decision of the Northern Ireland Executive not to agree to give NCA officers police powers. However, policing is devolved in Northern Ireland, and this is something we must respect. We continue to support Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford’s efforts to secure full operational powers for the NCA under appropriate accountability arrangements tailored to Northern Ireland’s structures.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 11/11/2014 16:02:07 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <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> answering member printed Baroness Randerson question first answered 21/10/2014 15:36:27 answering member 4230 label Biography information for Baroness Randerson
