I, too, apologise for arriving late, having been caught out by the business moving so swiftly. I thank my hon. Friend for his focus on these issues; whenever we have asked to meet to discuss them, he has been ready to do so.

Has he had any further discussions with the Home Secretary about whether the Government would be prepared to lift that ban, so ensuring that all parties could be part of a discussion to bring peace to the island?
