I know that the Prime Minister is hopeful about restoring Stormont—we all are right across this House— but it is by no means assured.

The Prime Minister
We are working very hard to restore Stormont, and I am sure that that has the complete support of the hon. Gentleman—he has already said that and I am glad that it does.
