Text

Minister, you are keen to talk about Santa Claus's deliveries, but you have not been so keen to talk about delivery of the Executive's legislative programme. To be clear, you referred to it as the "programme for 2024-25": you did not call it that when it was published in a statement to the Assembly. It was the "Executive Legislation Programme 2024", which is the year that is about to end. To confirm, you set yourself a low bar of 18 or 19 Bills. You will fail to reach even half that number. Can you account for why the Executive have failed to reach even 50% of the modest legislative programme that they set themselves?
