answer text <p>I wrote to the political parties in January seeking their views on this issue and, while there was broad support for the future publication of donations and loans, only one party expressed support for backdating publication to 1 January 2014. Having considered the representations of the parties, I did not believe it right to impose retrospective regulations on those who donated in accordance with the rules set out in law at the time. The secondary legislation to give effect to full transparency which I propose would therefore apply to donations and loans received on or after 1 July 2017.</p><p><br></p> more like this

answer text <p>There is provision in place for the Permanent Secretary of the Northern Ireland Department of Finance to allocate cash, under s59 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, to maintain public services. That system remains in place as it has done since April.</p><p> </p><p>In April, I set out in a Written Ministerial Statement an indicative Budget position, based on advice from the Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) in conjunction with the NICS Board. This sought to give clarity to NI Departments as to the basis for departmental allocations in the absence of an Executive. I continue to monitor the financial situation, and will reflect on whether any further clarity is required for Northern Ireland Permanent Secretaries in the allocation of resources.</p><p> </p> more like this
