Stormont funding: Finance chief to brief MLAs amid funding dispute

The most senior civil servant in Stormont's Department of Finance is to appear before a Northern Ireland Assembly scrutiny committee.

Earlier, the government wrote to the Dr Archibald setting out the details of the £3.3bn package, which was agreed in December for a restored power-sharing executive. "They government is saying they will write off debt that should never have arisen because they should never have funded us below need," he said.

"The government was clear that there would have to be a budget sustainability plan as a condition of that debt forgiveness and as part of that they expected to see some revenue raising," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster.
