PUP 'wants loyalist weapons move'

The leader of the UVF-linked Progressive Unionist Party has said she would like to see loyalists decommission their weapons.

Dawn Purvis said minds would be focused on the issue after Secretary of State Shaun Woodward warned legal ways of decommissioning would not last forever.

The UVF announced it was putting its weapons beyond reach last year.

"We would like to see decommissioning happen within loyalist communities," Ms Purvis said.
