I am afraid it is imperative that the new Northern Ireland scrutiny committee is set up here as soon as possible and that we will, I hope, shine more light on these issues, as it appears that the structures set up at Stormont are not working, in practice, as envisaged by the Windsor Framework. I regret that, because I thought those structures would provide a vehicle for some scrutiny, but, unfortunately, some members of some of the parties in Stormont do not believe in scrutiny of things that will affect all the people of Northern Ireland.
