The '''[[Northern Ireland Assembly]] elected in November 2003''' never met as such: [[Northern Ireland]]'s devolved government and representative institutions had been suspended with the re-introduction of direct rule by the [[United Kingdom]] government on 14 October 2002. However, the persons ([[Member of the Legislative Assembly|Members of the Legislative Assembly]], MLAs) elected to the [[Northern Ireland Assembly|Assembly]] at the [[2003 Northern Ireland Assembly election|2003 assembly election]] were called together in a non-legislative capacity, initially under the Northern Ireland Act 2006<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2006/20060017.htm|title=Northern Ireland Act 2006 (repealed)|access-date=19 May 2006|archive-date=8 September 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080908104116/http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2006/20060017.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> and then under the St Andrews Agreement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/about-the-assembly/general-information/history-of-the-assembly/|title=History of the Assembly|website=www.niassembly.gov.uk|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-04-29|archive-date=9 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170409154736/http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/about-the-assembly/general-information/history-of-the-assembly|url-status=dead}}</ref> These bodies failed to form a government before the [[2007 Northern Ireland Assembly election|2007 election]].
