Chris Heaton-Harris will make a statement amid pressure to push back the deadline to give more time for a deal on post-Brexit trade to be struck
The Government will later announce whether a January deadline for holding an election in Northern Ireland is to be extended.
A DUP boycott of the devolved institutions, in protest at Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol, has prevented an executive being formed in Belfast. Extending the deadline would increase the likelihood of the negotiations producing something substantive ahead of any election date. As such, the Government could be tempted to hold a poll earlier in the year, in the hope of having a functioning powersharing administration in place when the landmark commemoration takes place.
Each week, our Political Reporter Brendan Hughes pulls together some of the biggest and most important matters from Belfast and Northern Ireland that we think you’d be interested in reading.
