    To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the likely reduction to the block grant for Northern Ireland in the current financial year arising from lack of progress on welfare reform.

    Danny Alexander

    I have written to the Northern Ireland Minister for Finance and Personnel setting out that the Treasury will reduce Northern Ireland Executive budgets to reflect savings foregone as a result of the lack of progress on welfare reforms already in place in the rest of the United Kingdom. For 2014/15 those estimated savings are £87m and in 2015/16 they will rise to £114m.

    Gregory Campbell – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gregory Campbell on 2014-04-28.

    To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will review the level and practice of undeclared costings charged by financial institutions to private investors on open-ended investment trusts and other products.

    Andrea Leadsom

    The Government is aware of the impact that costs can have on investment returns. While there are currently no plans for HM Treasury to undertake a review the Government is working with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates the disclosure of fees and expenses in accordance with existing regulation.

    The FCA has conducted a review on the clarity of fund charges within the current regulatory framework to ensure costs are clearly set out to consumers. It will publish its findings in quarter 2 2014. The FCA has also worked closely with the Treasury to shape future European legislation which will improve the disclosure of fund charges across Europe.

  • Gregory Campbell – 2022 Statement on Threats to Jimmy Nesbitt

    Gregory Campbell – 2022 Statement on Threats to Jimmy Nesbitt

    The statement made by Gregory Campbell, the DUP MP for East Londonderry, on 20 October 2022.

    Jimmy Nesbitt is a local lad who has invested in his own community. Those painting threatening graffiti such as this should stop. Their actions are wrong and to be condemned.

    I fundamentally disagree with Mr Nesbitt’s position on Northern Ireland’s future but he has every right to express his political views in whatever forum he wishes. He should be able to do so free from fear. That’s a democracy and it’s why I have opposed Sinn Fein all my life as they believed you could justify violence at the same time as doing politics.

    We must be consistent in always opposing violence as well as any threat of violence and attempted intimidation.
