Culture Minister will not chat with McGuinness outside Stormont
DUP MP Gregory Campbell - the new culture minister - has said he will not engage in social conversation with Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness on the margins of Stormont meetings.
DUP MP Gregory Campbell said when the two men sit down at executive meetings, their relationship would be businesslike.
Mr McGuinness recently described Mr Campbell as "bitter" and pointed out that he did not talk to him despite the DUP-Sinn Fein deal on power-sharing.
Mr Campbell said there would be no handshakes, greetings or cups of tea.
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics, he said: "We have business to do, we are going to do that business for the greater good of the people of Northern Ireland and that's what we have to do."
