Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act 2022
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what (1) was the budget for this financial year, and (2) are the proposed costs for next financial year, in the proposed implementation of the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act 2022.
- Answer
-
Consistent with the commitments made in New Decade, New Approach, the public authorities that have been established by the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act 2022 will be arms length bodies of Northern Ireland departments.
The Northern Ireland Office has not established a budget for the day-to-day running of those public authorities, as it will be a matter for Northern Ireland departments to oversee and fund their operation.
My Department is committed to working with the Northern Ireland Civil Service and the new authorities to support the Act’s implementation, and the completion of the New Decade, New Approach commitments on which it delivers.
