Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many months have elapsed since the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement came into force; and during how many of those months there has not been an operational power sharing executive.
Approximately 269 months have elapsed since the Northern Ireland Executive met for the first time on 2 December 1999 after the signing of the 10 April 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. During that period, there have been approximately 94 months without a fully functioning Executive.
