Welfare State: Northern Ireland
(asked on 3rd June 2015) - View Source
Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment she has made of progress in implementing welfare reform in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 9th June 2015
The failure to implement welfare reform jeopardises the entire Stormont House Agreement and could have a seriously damaging impact on front-line public services in Northern Ireland.
I continue to meet the Northern Ireland political parties regularly to seek a way forward and to urge them to press ahead with implementing all aspects of the Stormont House Agreement.
