Motion TitleAgreement on a Budget - Amendment 2

Motion Amendment TextLeave out all after ‘Fiscal Council’ and insert: ‘confirms that funding Northern Ireland equitably with other devolved jurisdictions would be worth between £1 billion and £3.5 billion more per year to the Executive; supports efforts to secure a fair and sustainable funding settlement from the UK Government; recognises that agreeing the draft budget without additional funding would have resulted in drastic cuts to public services; agrees that repeated cycles of government collapse, the waste associated with segregated public services and the failure to transform those services have contributed significantly to the Executive’s financial pressures; calls on the Minister of Finance to urgently outline how he intends to address the crisis facing public services in Northern Ireland and secure agreement on a Budget; and further calls on the new UK Government to engage constructively with the Executive throughout this process.’
