Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether the welfare mitigation package for people in Northern Ireland will be extended beyond March 2020.
This question was answered on 2nd October 2019
The Department for Communities in Northern Ireland is responsible for the delivery of the various mitigation schemes relating to welfare reform in Northern Ireland.
A decision to extend mitigations beyond March 2020 would be a matter for an incoming Minister for Communities in a restored Northern Ireland Executive.
