Northern Ireland Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether the discussions between Ministers and officials of his Department and HM Treasury on budgetary challenges facing the Northern Ireland Executive during 2015 included the escalated spending exposure under the Northern Ireland non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme.

Ministers and officials of the Northern Ireland Office engage regularly with HM Treasury to discuss matters of mutual interest in relation to Northern Ireland. However, I am not aware of any specific discussions on the costs of the Northern Ireland renewable heating scheme during the period in question.
