It is positive that we are making progress. I look forward to receiving the updated documentation, which will allow us to move to the next step.

I do not have that detail. That is in the gift of the Department for the Economy; it makes those allocations. The breakdown of that funding does not come directly under our office.

In relation to regional balance, £45 million has been put aside to support local economic partnerships. How much of that will fund administration in the councils, and how much will go towards capital projects or other projects?
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Local Government Collaboration Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Local Government Collaboration
Thanks for the question. I agree. The draft Programme for Government recognises the whole area of growing our economy as a priority and recognises regional balance as a key component of that and of growing a globally competitive and sustainable economy. Everybody needs to benefit from that. The prize is that everybody…

First Minister, I welcome your answer in response to the question about the collaboration approach. I do not wish to be parochial, but no council is better at that than Mid Ulster District Council. Does the First Minister agree that addressing regional imbalance is a really important part of moving our economy forward?

I can provide more detail to the Member. I think that the last action that we took was to write to every Department, each of which has different areas of work falling within its remit. We asked the Departments to correspond with us to let us know how they intend to take forward those actions. Perhaps there will be a…

Yes, we had direct engagement with SOLACE as we consulted on the Programme for Government. As the Member will know, that has concluded. We had significant engagement throughout the consultation process, for which we are grateful. We are working in earnest to agree the final Programme for Government and bring it back…

'Our Plan' is an ambitious agenda for change for everyone who lives here. In order to make that happen, we know that we need to work in partnership.

Yes. I recognise and commend the work that you have done, with other Members, over the past few months. You stood on the streets with residents to reject the hate and racism that we witnessed and to support our minority ethnic communities, as you always have done and, I am sure, will continue to do. I had the great…

We welcome the fact that those seeking refuge are no longer being left waiting for lengthy periods for a decision on their asylum cases. The increasingly high number of people moving on as the Home Office deals with the backlog has, unfortunately, necessitated the Housing Executive to place some people in temporary…

Thank you for your question. I have no doubt that, at home, Sé and Daíthí are very keen to know whether Santa is on track. How exciting that it is only 16 days until Christmas. I want you to tell Sé and Daíthí and all the other children out there that things are on track. The deputy First Minister and I have spoken to…

On the topic of public service, First Minister, one of the hardest-working public servants whom we have is currently working very hard, because there are only 16 more sleeps until Christmas Day.

Therein lies the challenge with which we have to grapple. We have to come to terms with that, but when we collectively come at the new approach of having nine identified priority areas in the draft Programme for Government and monitor our progress as we go, we will have to correct how we will do the transformation…

The Alliance Party is very supportive of reform and transformation. First Minister, how can you ensure that the reform and transformation unit will have meaningful impact, given the fact that the different Departments are legally independent of one another?

The Committee did not reject any proposal. I am sure that the Member did not set out to be disingenuous. The Committee discussed the forward work programme, which did not have the complete information. All that members of the Committee did was to ask for a bit more time to put the programme together. Let us therefore…
