Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister when the Ministerial Code will be updated to reflect the passing of the Executive Committee Functions Act.

Answer:

We intend to seek the agreement of the Executive Committee in the near future to amendments to the Ministerial Code to reflect the changes in the law introduced by the Executive Committee (Functions) Act 2020. Once agreement has been obtained, we will seek the scheduling of a debate on a motion for the approval of the Assembly.
