Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will provide an update on the work of the Castlereagh Foundation.
In July 2021, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland appointed an Advisory Committee to provide advice on appropriate delivery partners to establish the Castlereagh Foundation, the legal form it should take, the role of the foundation and the cost to establish it. The Advisory Committee submitted their written advice to the Secretary of State in January and we thank the committee for its work.
The Secretary of State is considering that advice and considering the appropriate next steps.
