Some in the Chamber believe that citizens here should be treated as second-class citizens: if it is not trying to force a march through the heart of a community, it is saying that we should accept an unfair funding proposal from the British Government. It is clear, as the Finance Minister said, that we are underfunded compared with other devolved Administrations. The British Secretary of State said that the package that he offered addressed all the issues that were discussed: does the Finance Minister agree that that is the case?
