MPs from the DUP, SDLP and Alliance Party have been speaking during a House of Commons debate on the Ministers, Elections and Petitions of Concern Bill.

The bill's key purpose is to strengthen the stability of the executive if faced with another political crisis.

The legislation would extend the time to replace the first or deputy first minister in the event of a resignation from seven days to at least 24 weeks.
