Northern Secretary 'minded' to cut salary of Stormont politicians

Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley has said she is "minded" to cut the salary of members of the crisis-hit Stormont Assembly by 27.5%, but will consult the parties before making a final decision.

Mrs Bradley's predecessor James Brokenshire commissioned former Assembly chief executive Trevor Reaney to examine the controversial issue of paying MLAs who are not performing their roles as legislators due to the powersharing impasse.
