Peace 4 Programme

Question

(2) what progress she has made with the European Commission and European Parliament on the allocation of funds to the Peace 4 programme; and if she will make a statement.

[123643]

Ms Ritchie:

Answer

We are working closely with colleagues in the Treasury and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to ensure that funding is in place for a further PEACE programme for the 2014-20 period.

We will also continue to work with the devolved Administration and the Irish Government and as appropriate with EU institutions to promote our shared objectives on this issue ahead of the wider EU budget negotiations later this year.
