tabling member printed	Lord Empey
uin	HL5510
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2015 answer text <p>Changes to the welfare system in Northern Ireland were a key part of the Stormont House Agreement and without these changes it will be extremely difficult for the Executive to deliver a balanced budget. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has been clear that it remains vital that the Agreement is implemented in full.</p><p>The Government is pressing ahead with implementing its obligations under the Agreement and the corporation tax legislation has now passed through this House. The legislation contains a commencement clause and commencement will not take place until the conditions set out in the Stormont House Agreement have been met and changes to the welfare system in Northern Ireland have been implemented.</p><p>If the welfare reform legislation does not progress other aspects of the Agreement, including the financial package, are at risk. If the implementation of welfare reform does not take place during 2015-16 then the full £114million will be deducted from the Block Grant to reflect savings forgone.</p> answering member printed Baroness Randerson grouped question UIN HL5511 HL5512 HL5513 HL5514 question first answered 23/03/2015 14:01:44 answering member 4230 label Biography information for Baroness Randerson
