	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 10/12/2014 answer text <p>The National Crime Agency (NCA) has a flexible, UK-wide operational capability, prioritising the deployment of its resources against the highest risks and undertaking targeted operations to cut serious and organised crime affecting <br>our communities. The NCA's People Strategy delivers a flexible response in which the workforce is placed in areas of operational demand. There is nothing to preclude the employment of people living in Northern Ireland. For example, <br>NCA officers based in Northern Ireland work on Civil Recovery and Tax casesrelating to England and Wales in the absence of consent for the NCA to take on full functions in Northern Ireland. All NCA vacancies across the United Kingdom are advertised in the spirit of open and fair competition.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>Parliament recently supported a DUP motion condemning the illegal activities being carried out by criminal gangs in Northern Ireland and calling for the full implementation of the National Crime Agency. We want the people and <br>communities of Northern Ireland to benefit from the full range of the National Crime Agency’s capabilities, as the rest of the UK does. Of course, it will take the support of all the main parties in Northern Ireland to make the <br>proposals work. Home Office Ministers have regular meetings with Ministerial colleagues and others.
