answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2018 answer text <p>I have met with the Chair of the Policing Board, and have discussed this matter with the Chief Constable. Both are keen that political representation on the Policing Board should be restored as soon as possible to ensure proper governance and accountability. I have also raised this issue with party leaders. We are exploring with them, the Department of Justice and others what can be done in the absence of the Executive. This again demonstrates why it is so important that devolved government is restored so that local people can oversee local policing issues.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 27/04/2018 11:37:52 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland set out in a Written Ministerial statement about Northern Ireland Finances on 8 March resource and capital allocations for Northern Ireland Departments for the financial year 2018/19. On 20 March, the Secretary of State brought forward the Northern Ireland Budget (Anticipation and Adjustments) Bill which would provide a “Vote on Account” for the Northern Ireland Administration to undertake expenditure in the early months of 2018/19 for day to day spending. This vote on account is part of the normal estimates process and these allocations will need to be placed on a legal footing later in the year. We hope a restored Executive will be in place to take this through the Northern Ireland Assembly. The Secretary of State does not have the power to take forward a budget through an Order-in-Council.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 03/04/2018 12:27:39 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
