    Northern Ireland went to the polls on 2 March to elect a new government.

    MPs get started on Northern Ireland questions - their first chance to quiz ministers since the Assembly election which saw Sinn Fein make gains. 

    The DUP's Jim Shannon asks for an assessment of the implications of recent statements by Gerry McGeough on the judiciary.

    Northern Ireland Minister Kris Hopkins condemns his remarks. 

  15. UBS 'to move up to 1,500 London jobs due to Brexit'published at 11:36 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2017

    Joe Miller
    Business reporter

    The chairman of UBS, Axel Weber, has said up to 1,500 staff will be relocated from the bank's London base due to Brexit. 

    Speaking at the Institute of International Finance conference in Frankfurt, he said the Swiss lender was "looking into alternatives" and will move its passporting business to a "country that will be a long term EU member". 

    "We need an EU member state operation and we can't do that from Zurich".

    He added that the bank would not wait until the two years of the Article 50 process were up to take the decision to move, but would probably start the relocation process as soon as Brexit begins.

    He also says that the Great Repeal Bill white paper will be released as soon as all devolved areas of the UK have seen it, so shortly after a Northern Ireland government has been formed. 

    He says there will be a number of major bills released on different issues impacted by Brexit.

    Select Committee
    Parliament

    The Brexit secretary says once again that the time was not right to project the benefits and costs of leaving the EU. 

    David Davis tells MPs that they must avoid a "Michael Fish moment" by predicting something, only to see something else happen. 

    He says "economic models are only as good as the assumptions they’re based on", and it was too early to make assumptions.
