The key line in my earlier answer is that there is an expectation that all parties that are involved in this must and should deliver. It is crucial that momentum is maintained to deliver a prompt conclusion to these vital negotiations. I also want to acknowledge the role that all parties are playing in this and to articulate my regret that the UUP has withdrawn. I have already made clear the huge level of commitment and priority the Government places on a prompt conclusion of these negotiations. As I said, the Tánaiste has already engaged directly with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister and with the leaders of the key parties in Northern Ireland and is maintaining his engagement with the Secretary of State, Ms Villiers, in regard to these negotiations. It is vital we allow all those who were involved directly within the framework to continue their work to deliver a prompt conclusion to these negotiations while underpinning throughout all of this the very strong commitment of both Governments to seeing a prompt and successful conclusion to these negotiations to ensure the dangers of the past can be averted for the future and to ensure all communities in Northern Ireland have the safe and secure future that everyone in this House wants to see happen.
