Q1 Jerome Mayhew Con
Northern Ireland
Context

The Government has continued to progress work despite the challenges of the pandemic.

Question

Despite the progress made, does my hon. Friend agree that now is the time to see real progress from the Northern Ireland Executive given that covid and our response to it is less all-consuming?

Answer from Robin Walker (Member of Parliament)

Absolutely. I agree with my hon. Friend, but we should recognise the manner in which the Executive have worked collaboratively to tackle the immediate crisis, including the way in which the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister have demonstrated leadership and the ability to put their differences aside, working together to protect the public.
