Two main parties say Chris Heaton-Harris has failed to provide clarity with refusal to set election date
The Northern Ireland secretary, Chris Heaton-Harris, has again deferred naming a date for fresh elections for the Stormont assembly amid accusations the region is being used as a political football.
In a statement after meeting party leaders, Heaton-Harris said he was concerned about the emergence of a “black hole” in the budget for Northern Ireland but did not name a date for the election.
