Secretary of State confirms a Stormont election won't be held in December

People have been waiting since last week to find out what will happen, after the deadline to restore power-sharing passed without resolution.

It's just been confirmed there won't be a Stormont election in December.

The Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris says he's made the decision after listening to concerns about the impact and cost.

An election legally has to be called within 12 weeks of the 28th of October - which was the deadline for resolving the power-sharing deadlock at Stormont.
