Chris Heaton-Harris said he would give more information next week and would be meeting the parties in the meantime.The Democratic Unionist Party blocked the restoration of power-sharing in its protest against the post-Brexit trading arrangements called the Northern Ireland Protocol.ahead of a deadline set by Westminster.
Legislation says that an election must be held within 12 weeks and it had been expected that a poll would take place on 15 December. However, Mr Heaton-Harris denied he had made a U-turn, saying an election did not have to be called immediately."But nearly all of them are parties who signed up to the rules, the law. That means I need to call an election so you'll hear more from me on that particular point next week."
