Proceeding contribution from Karen Bradley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 October 2018. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions) Bill

As I said, a number of amendments dealing with several matters have been tabled, including one specifically about the Hart report of the historic institutional abuse inquiry. The Bill is not the vehicle for such measures. This is a Bill to enable civil servants to make the decisions that are necessary to enable public services to continue to be run. Officials will not make major policy decisions as a result of the Bill, but they will act in the public interest, and I think that that is very important.
