Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister, pursuant to AQW 20158 22-27, to detail any responses they have had from Ministerial colleagues in the (i) Department for Communities; (ii) Department for the Economy; (iii) Department of Finance; and (iv) Department for Infrastructure in relation to the establishment of a cross-departmental working group.

Answer:

On 10th October we wrote to Ministerial colleagues at the Departments for Communities, Economy, Finance and Infrastructure asking them to consider the recommendations of the High Street Task Force report and determine the way forward, bringing matters to the Executive for consideration as necessary.

Responses were received from all four departments, outlining how they would take forward recommendations that fell within their responsibilities.
