The Northern Ireland Arms Decommissioning Bill, presented by Secretary Sir Patrick Mayhew, outlines the legal framework for the decommissioning of firearms, ammunition, and explosives in Northern Ireland. The Bill defines a 'decommissioning scheme' and specifies the duration, methods, and legal protections associated with the decommissioning process, including an amnesty from prosecution for those complying with the scheme. It also addresses the inadmissibility of decommissioned articles as evidence in criminal proceedings, except under certain conditions, and establishes a Commission to oversee the decommissioning process. The Bill includes provisions for extending the scheme to England, Wales, and Scotland, and details the financial implications and administrative responsibilities of the Secretary of State in implementing the scheme.
