Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any issues they plan to raise at the Prime Minister's summit with leaders of the devolved governments in October 2026.


Answer:
While the agenda and terms of reference for the meeting have yet to be confirmed, we will ensure that Northern Ireland’s priorities are clearly represented.  We will promote the need for sustainable economic growth and investment and use the opportunity to highlight the particular economic circumstances and opportunities for Northern Ireland, including the importance of investment in skills, infrastructure and connectivity.
