Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Bill

Yes, I agree; that is entirely right. This points to where we should be taking things forward in the interim. There are certain issues that have total

cross-party support in Northern Ireland and where the demand has come from the Northern Ireland parties to the Government to do something. That is entirely different from Members here seeking to impose changes that are not agreed by the parties in Northern Ireland and when other pressing concerns—mental health and suicide strategy, health, education, jobs—are not being put forward for consideration at this stage. Moreover, this is not the appropriate vehicle through which to do this.
