Britain's Northern Ireland minister will update parliament on Wednesday on ways to restore the region's power sharing government, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesman said on Tuesday.
Northern Ireland has been without a functioning devolved government since February when the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party began a boycott of the regional assembly in protest at post-Brexit trading arrangements.
"Cabinet agreed the UK's absolutely priority for the people of Northern Ireland was the restoration of a stable, effective and accountable devolved government in Northern Ireland," Sunak's spokesman said.
