Motion

Holding Ministers to Account

Holding Ministers to Account
That this Assembly recognises that the current structure of government in Northern Ireland makes it impossible to fully hold Ministers to account for their actions; expresses concern that, under existing structures, it is not guaranteed that Ministers will be removed from office even when found to have breached the Ministerial Code or broken the law; agrees that a programme of institutional reform is required to overcome these challenges; and calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to bring forward proposals for Executive and Assembly reform, which upholds the stability of the institutions, while also ensuring that ministers are effectively held to account for their actions.
