Owen Paterson Comments after UDA decommissioned its Weapons

Commenting after the UDA decommissioned its weapons, Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Owen Paterson said:

"We very much welcome this news that has been fully verified by the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning. This move justifies the tough stance we took in Parliament in refusing to agree to the extension of actny further deadline for decommissioning of the UDA's weapons. At the same time it is now imperative that the UDA ends all forms of criminal activities."
