North: British MPs to investigate organised crime
01/11/2005 - 14:00:10The British government has announced plans to hold a parliamentary inquiry into the nature and impact of organised crime in the North.
The inquiry will be conducted by the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee at Westminster and will also examine the effectiveness of efforts to combat crime gangs.
Members of the public and any other interested parties have been invited to give their views on the matter, while the committee is also expected to hear from police, customs and revenue officials.
A report will then be published some time next year.
