These orders, and several other elements of the Criminal Finances Act 2017, relate to devolved matters. The Security Minister gave a commitment to Parliament not to commence any CFA provisions affecting devolved matters until legislative consent is secured. This is one of the many issues that demonstrate that devolved government is in the best interests of everyone in Northern Ireland.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 29/11/2018 16:23:12 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
