[Dr Luke Evans (Bosworth) (Con)]

12. What assessment he has made of the impact of the restoration of the Northern Ireland Assembly on Northern Ireland.

[The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Chris Heaton-Harris)]

I am sure that my hon. Friends will welcome the fact that, once again, Northern Ireland has local politicians taking decisions in a local Assembly that is accountable to local people. With a funding package worth over £3 billion, the Executive are taking forward the vital work of public service transformation and delivering sustainable finances, and are ensuring better outcomes for the people of Northern Ireland in their daily lives. The impact of all this has been unbelievably positive.
