Written Question
Northern Ireland Government
Wednesday 6th March 2019

Asked by: Theresa Villiers (Conservative - Chipping Barnet)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

What steps she is taking to seek the restoration of power-sharing devolved government in Northern Ireland.

Answered by Karen Bradley

I am working closely with the main Northern Ireland parties to restore devolved government. I met the five main political parties on 15 February, and again - with the exception of one party - on 1 March. Northern Ireland needs a functioning Executive and Assembly and that is what this Government is determined to achieve.
