Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. The projects are almost two months behind schedule. As part of June monitoring, the Minister's Department has indicated a reduced requirement of £8·9 million in relation to the economic regional growth fund. This is the first year of that fund, and, already, she has indicated a significant underspend. That delay and underspend are symbolic of the Executive's continual failure for the subregions, particularly the north-west. Why has that happened?
