MPs were told: “We should all acknowledge that without an Executive, these things are more difficult to deliver.'
The delivery of a £400 energy payment to householders in Northern Ireland is more difficult without a Stormont Executive, it has been suggested.
But there are currently no ministers in post at Stormont following the passing of a deadline for the Northern Ireland parties to form a new executive.Speaking in Belfast, Sinn Fein’s Stormont leader Michelle O’Neill queried why the £400 had not been paid to people yet, describing the situation as “not acceptable”.
He said the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy would make a statement on support in Northern Ireland. “I regret that today I cannot give an exact date, but we look forward to BEIS making a statement,” he said.
