Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance whether he will publish the options paper he received prior to announcing additional COVID-19 support schemes on the 15 March 2021.

Answer:

It is not normal practice to publish internal papers relating to the development of the policy proposals that are presented to the Executive. I see no pressing need for an exception to be made in this case.
