Text
To confirm and maybe correct the record for the Member, the Executive have been formed for nine or 10 weeks now. That is how long we have been having the official conversation on the Programme for Government. I am glad to say that work continues apace to develop that Programme for Government. I am more interested in getting it right. I am more interested in making sure that we have a Programme for Government that reflects our priorities, as identified by the four Executive parties. I have said that we will bring this to the Executive. We will have some discussion this week, but the intention is that we will have something formally in place for the summer. We will then have to go through the consultation process and work through all the details. Let us get it right. Let us not be in a hurry. Let us make sure that it is meaningful and impactful.
