P511 CEEFAX 1 511 Wed 01 Dec 12:11/03HISTORIC POWER SWITCH FOR N IRELAND Northern Ireland will be in charge of many of its own affairs from midnight tonight after politicians in London agreed to a Devolution order. MPs approved the Order by 318 votes to 10, which means powers will be transferred from Westminster to the new Northern Ireland Assembly. The move, which it is hoped will be another step towards lasting peace in the Province, ends 25 years of direct rule from Parliament in London.
