Former Northern Secretary Dr Mo Mowlam is critically ill in hospital tonight.
Dr Mowlam (left) previously suffered a brain tumour and has appeared increasingly frail in recent months.
The ex-MP is at London's King's College Hospital where a spokeswoman described her condition as "critical but stable".
Dr Mowlam served as the British government minister for the North from May 1997 to October 1999, during the crucial phase during which the Belfast Agreeement was signed in 1998.
