Northern Ireland Business in Parliament: The Impact of the Suspension of Devolution in 2002

Derek Birrell

The suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive in 2002 meant the restoration to the Westminster Parliament of full responsibility for Northern Ireland matters. This article examines the impact that suspension has had on Westminster's handling of Northern Ireland business, especially following the short experience of devolution operating alongside devolution for Scotland and Wales. It focuses on the consequences of the suspension of devolution for the legislative process and the role of parliamentary committees and also examines the continuing impact of the parliamentary modernisation agenda. An assessment is made of the significance of the extent of changes that have occurred compared to the procedures that existed during direct rule prior to 1999.
