Motion (Private Members' Motion): The Executive’s Multi-Year Budget

That this Assembly recognises the need for the first multi-year Budget in more than a decade, to support long-term planning, improve certainty on public service funding and public sector pay and provide clarity on infrastructure investment; acknowledges that the forthcoming Autumn Budget will impact Executive plans; notes statements by Ministers on the insufficiency of funding, and also the absence of any concrete plans by the Executive to better fund public services through existing revenue tools or new devolved fiscal powers; and calls on the Minister of Finance to bring forward a draft multi-year budget which includes options for new devolved fiscal powers and other innovative means of funding public services in Northern Ireland, which is fully aligned to the priorities outlined in the Programme for Government, before 9 December 2025.

The motion has not been assessed yet.
