Will Ministers update us on any subsequent conversations that they have had with Ministers in the Northern Ireland Office about extending to the Province some provisions in the Bill that do not presently extend to it?

The short answer is no. We have had no such discussions since we covered the matter at the end of last week. Our colleagues in the NIO are considering the position in the light of a possible new Northern Ireland elections Bill, and we shall wait to see what measures will be presented then.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 70 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clause 71 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
