answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>It is important for Northern Ireland that its political leaders reach agreement on key issues that currently divide them. The talks that have been convened are a valuable opportunity to support and facilitate that. It is impossible to gauge costs accurately at present, but the benefits of an agreement would enormously outweigh the cost associated with facilitating the talks.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 20/10/2014 10:09:00 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers

uin	210765
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>We are continuing to press for agreement on the full application of the NCA’s remit in Northern Ireland. Although Justice Minister Ford is leading discussions with the parties on agreeing the full extension of the NCA to Northern Ireland, I continue to raise the issue with them on a regular basis. Minister Ford recently submitted a paper to the Northern Ireland parties, which we believe should allay concerns about the NCA’s accountability. In the Government’s view there is no justification for continuing to delay this decision. I urge all parties to now ensure that Northern Ireland receives the same protection from serious and organised crime as the rest of the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers grouped question UIN 210764 question first answered 22/10/2014 14:14:29 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers
