The hon Lady will recall that a number of events were held last year for the 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Agreement in which the UK Government participated or hosted. This Government remains fully committed to the 1998 Agreement and its successors. It is the bedrock of the huge progress that has been made in Northern Ireland over the past 21 years and we will continue to work for its full implementation, including restoration of the devolved and other institutions at the earliest opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 09/04/2019 16:20:54 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

While the Assembly is not sitting, I recognise that MLAs continue to be active in constituency work. The reduction that has been implemented reflects the work MLAs have been doing in the current period and is in line with the recommendations of former Assembly clerk and chief executive Trevor Reaney. In the event of continued delay in the formation of an Executive I will consider the case for further reductions to MLA pay.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 09/04/2019 10:16:02 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
