Secretary Of State To Update MPs On Stormont Talks

The Secretary of State is due to speak at the House of Commons to update MPs over talks to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland.

Discussions between the five main parties are continuing at Stormont in a bid to break the ongoing impasse.

NI has been without an Executive since January last year.

Previously, Mrs Bradley said the talks are to be "short" and "intense".
