Motion TitleProper Funding for Effective Public Services

Motion TextThat this Assembly recognises that years of British Government austerity and underfunding of the Executive has seriously undermined our public services in many areas, including health, housing, and education; notes its endorsement of the letter sent to Prime Minister Sunak by all Executive Ministers in February 2024; welcomes the work of the Minister of Finance, on behalf of the Executive, in securing the agreement of the British Government to an interim Fiscal Framework which includes assurances that the Executive can plan on the assumption it will be funded at or above the 124 per cent level of relative need in future financial years; acknowledges that work is ongoing towards delivering a final Fiscal Framework; and calls on the Minister of Finance to write, on behalf of the Assembly, to the next British Government, calling for our public finances to be placed on a more sustainable footing, and for the Executive to have the resources that it needs.
