The UK Government’s focus remains on working with the Executive and the Assembly to improve public services and generate economic growth.

We remain committed to ensuring the long-term stability of the Northern Ireland institutions and have no current plans to amend the Northern Ireland Act to change the mechanism for choosing an Executive.
