Mr William Wragg (Hazel Grove) (Con)
2. What progress has been made on discussions on power sharing in Northern Ireland.
Victoria Prentis (Banbury) (Con)
10. What progress has been made on power-sharing arrangements in Northern Ireland.
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (James Brokenshire)
The overriding priority for the UK Government in Northern Ireland remains the restoration of devolved power-sharing government in Stormont. The UK Government are working with the main Northern Ireland parties and, in accordance with the well-established three-stranded approach, the Irish Government to restore a fully functioning inclusive Executive and Assembly. But time is short. I would urge all concerned to use the narrow window that remains to look beyond their differences and to see that an Executive is formed.
