The Democratic Unionist leader was rushed to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital yesterday.

Speaking about the 66-year-old's condition, DUP Finance Minister at Stormont Arlene Foster said: "He has stabilised but still remains in hospital."

His health means he will miss an important Assembly debate on welfare reform which has been threatening to collapse the power-sharing institutions at Stormont.
