Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what progress has been made on restoring devolved government in Northern Ireland.
The Government remains committed to the restoration of devolved Government in Northern Ireland. I have been working closely with the parties towards this objective since March. There remain a small number of differences, particularly around language and culture and sustainability of the Executive, which the parties are continuing to discuss with the support of the UK Government and, as appropriate, the Irish Government.
