The Secretary of State is set to extend a deadline for calling a fresh Stormont election and cut MLA pay, according to reports.
Chris Heaton-Harris will extend the current January 19 deadline by six weeks, with an option to extend it by a further six weeks.
He is also expected to reduce MLA pay by just under a third, 27%. The basic salary for MLAs is £51,500, with the 27% reduction this would mean wages of roughly £37,000 – a drop of £14,000
