Text

Thanks very much for giving way. You mentioned that the Executive need to have a plan in engaging with Westminster, but we had one when we agreed the fiscal framework and looked at the level of need. The fundamental flaw here is that, historically, we have been underfunded from the baseline. Unless we address that, we will come round to these issues year-on-year.
