Debate between Bambos Charalambous and Hilary Benn

Wednesday 27th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Hilary Benn)]

This Government are providing the Executive with an £18.2 billion funding settlement for 2025-26. This represents a £1.5 billion increase on this year and is the largest settlement since devolution. It is now for the Executive to decide how the funding is spent.

[Bambos Charalambous]
