Lord Elton Excerpts
Viscount Younger of Leckie
I can answer only by saying that the civil servants are in charge. We want the political parties to come together to find a solution. That is the answer that I am giving.
Lord Elton (Con)
My Lords, where is the logic of continuing to pay Members of an Assembly which never meets?
Viscount Younger of Leckie
My noble friend will know that legislation has been brought forward to reduce their pay. It is now in the gift of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to take matters forward, should she wish.
