Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail any work being done to establish citizens' assemblies, in line with the commitment made in the New Decade, New Approach deal.

Answer:

We recognise and fully support the role that civic society plays in supporting policy making, through co-design and co-production approaches. Consideration continues to be given to a range of matters in relation to the re-establishment of the Civic Forum, and the new arrangements will be brought to the Assembly for its agreement in due course.
