Following the Oral Statement on 6 September, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland set out the Government\u2019s clear plan to bring about a restored Executive, and has been engaging regularly with the five main parties in Northern Ireland to establish the basis for moving into the next round of more formal talks.<\/p>
<\/p>
To that end the Secretary of State met the five main Northern Ireland parties, the Irish Government and church leaders on Monday 8 October and will continue to work with all parties to bring about the devolved power-sharing Executive that we all want to see.<\/p>"}

The Northern Ireland Assembly Members (Pay) Act 2018 enables the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to, by way of determination, vary the pay of MLAs while the Executive is not present.<\/p>

The Secretary of State has already exercised that power to halt the planned £500 MLA pay rise, and on 6 September she announced that she will, by way of determination, exercise that power again to bring forward a two stage 27.5% reduction of MLA pay. The first reduction will come into effect from November.<\/p>"}
