answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2023 answer text <p>We are aware of recent media coverage of this issue. Monitoring of the continuing threat posed by proscribed organisations in Northern Ireland is a matter for the Police Service of Northern Ireland and security partners who continue to work to keep the people of Northern Ireland safe. The UK Government remains committed to the Fresh Start Agreement goal of a society free of paramilitarism, including through the disbandment of all paramilitary organisations and their structures. Paramilitarism was never justified in the past and it isn’t justified today.</p><p> </p><p>Paramilitary groups and the individuals involved in them cause harm to their communities in ways that are obvious - such as violent attacks - and in ways that are less obvious - using intimidation and fear to exert influence and control. They hold their own communities back, deter investment and jobs and prevent people from moving forward with their lives.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government supports the NI Executive’s Tackling Paramilitarism Programme, which is working to tackle the presence of paramilitaries through evidence-based early interventions, targeted law enforcement measures and initiatives that provide direct support to help build safer communities resilient to paramilitarism. The UK Government has committed to provide 50% of the funding for the Programme - approximately £8m per year - through to March 2025.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 28/11/2023 14:03:45 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
