The Government had announced a £2 billion financial package for the “New Decade, New Approach” agreement.
How much funding does the Government plan to allocate to the Northern Ireland Executive in relation to the “New Decade, New Approach” agreement?
Julian Smith (Secretary of State for Northern Ireland)
Indeed, my hon. Friend is right. Voters in Northern Ireland realise that this is a good package. There is a Budget coming up in March, and I am sure that if the Executive prioritise their programme of government there will be a positive future for the whole of Northern Ireland.
