ASQ1W8 3214 BLANK PAGE ASQ1W8 3214 2 Source Material Source A When not suspended, the Assembly had a number of committees each of which was charged with scrutinising the activities of a particular ministerial department. It also had a number of permanent standing committees and temporary committees. The chairs and deputy chairs of the committees were chosen by party nominating officers under a procedure similar to that used to appoint members of the Executive. Committees of the Assembly took decisions by a simple majority vote. Source: Adapted from www.Answers.com Source B In the last four years the DUP has transformed the political process in Northern Ireland. We have achieved what many of our opponents said was impossible. We have successfully renegotiated the Belfast Agreement, and required republicans to give up their weapons and all paramilitary and criminal activity before they could enter government. Republicans are under pressure like never before, having been forced to abandon fundamental principles and long held beliefs. Source: DUP Election Communication. March 2007 Questions 1 2 With reference to Source A and any other material you have studied, explain how the Assembly could hold the Executive to account.
