Text

I appreciate the technical response from the Minister but, given her reputation for seriousness and detail, she would have to accept that it is a fairly surreal situation for a Finance Minister to rely on suspending the provisions of her ministerial colleague's private Member's Bill to secure savings. She has not got onto the Executive agenda a minor change to the rating system around the domestic rate caps. We have not seen any proposals as yet, despite elaborate promises, on fiscal devolution. Is it not the case that the big reform agenda that was promised around Budget and revenue-raising simply has not emerged yet?
