Text
As the Member knows, that is an issue that we have raised repeatedly. The deputy First Minister and I have raised it with every Prime Minister that we have had to deal with in recent years, and we have raised it with Secretaries of State. We continually raise it as part of our Budget discussions. If we are to build houses, we need to have access to the funds to do so. If we are to build houses, we need to be able to invest in our waste water infrastructure. Those two points have very much been heard in our ongoing Budget discussions with the Secretary of State.
John O'Dowd has also raised it at every turn. We need more money to build houses and invest in waste water infrastructure.
