MPs Debate NI Security Situation Following David Black Murder
MPs have begun debating a DUP motion calling for the fullest possible protection to members of the prison service and the security forces.
The move follows the murder of prison officer David Black, who was shot as he drove to work on 1 November.
The North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds introduced the motion, tabled by all eight DUP MPs.
The DUP Deputy leader began his speech by paying tribute to David Black who he described as "an innocent public servant".
Mr Dodds also said that those who use violence in Northern Ireland were "a crazed and fanatical element".
Meanwhile, two men have been arrested by detectives investigating Mr Black's murder.
The men, aged 34 and 42 were arrested in Coalisland, County Tyrone. They have been taken to Antrim police station for questioning.
A group calling itself the IRA admitted carrying out the killing.
