On the ongoing report from the noble Lord, Lord Murphy, noble Lords are very aware that my noble friend published a report from the noble Lord, Lord Murphy, on the effectiveness of the Windsor Framework. I am very grateful for the effort and consideration from the noble Lord, Lord Murphy, and to all who participated in his review, including many Members of your Lordships’ House. The review reflects the Government’s commitment to securing the broadest possible confidence of communities in Northern Ireland. The Government are now considering the noble Lord’s recommendations and will provide a response before the legal deadline in January. We will never be complacent and we are clear that our approach is not to pretend that problems never arise but to respond pragmatically to solve the issues where they do.
