While in London, Mr Maskey will also visit the Bloody Sunday Inquiry in solidarity with the families.

He will also separately brief, Elfyn Llwyd, Leader of Plaid Cymru, and Lord Williams of Mostyn on the current political situation here and the absolute imperative that elections not be further delayed to accommodate the political fortunes of any political party or leader.
