The new legislation aims to maintain public services and cut MLAs' pay
Legislation is set to be introduced at Westminster later to push back the deadline by which a Northern Ireland Executive must be formed.
However, Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris ruled out a December election and will instead bring legislation to extend the deadline. It will also enable a small number of vital public service appointments to be made and enable the regional rate for 2023/24 to be set should an executive not be in place to do so.
Talks are ongoing between the UK and EU over the protocol while a Bill to over-ride elements of the protocol is currently going through the parliamentary process.
