answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The basis on which the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland shall set a date for the election is set out in the Northern Ireland Act 1998. As the Secretary of State has said, we do not believe that holding an election during this time of significant change and political uncertainty would be helpful or would increase the prospects of restoring the Executive.</p><p> </p><p>That is why the NI (Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions) Act provides for a limited period during which there is no legal requirement to call a further election and during which an Executive may be formed at any time. This will provide the time and space needed to work with the parties towards a further phase of talks to restore the Executive.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 10/12/2018 11:19:03 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
