Answer from Hansard
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Hilary Benn)
Where were we, Mr Speaker? I welcome the publication of the Northern Ireland Executive’s budget sustainability plan—a positive and necessary step towards sustainable public finances—and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury has agreed with the Northern Ireland Finance Minister that discussions over a long-term fiscal framework for Northern Ireland can now begin.
