Text

First Minister, the Institute of Directors and the Construction Employers Federation are still calling for the establishment of an independent, expert-led infrastructure commission some five years after it appeared on page 27 of the previous Executive's COVID recovery plan, to which you were a co-signatory. It was also welcomed by previous Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon. What has contributed to the delay, and why are departmental responses on the topic becoming shorter rather than longer?
