Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to introduce legislation to amend the Northern Ireland Act 1998 to change the mechanism for choosing a Stormont Executive.
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.
