Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether she will publish the Project Assurance Review Report into the York Street Interchange.

Answer:

For a Project Assurance Review to be effective and of value, exchanges between interviewees and the panel need to be open, frank and confidential in nature. As such, in line with the guidance attached to DAO (DoF) 02/20 (Section 8)

https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/dfp/DAOdof0220att.pdf, I do not plan to publish this report.

I have, however, published the six recommendations of the review which can be found at https://www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/news/mallon-announces-outcome-review-york-street-interchange-scheme and I have asked for further work to be carried out on the recommendations, the outcome of which is to be reported to me in the autumn of 2021.
