To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister when the Assembly committee to monitor the Programme for Government will be involved in the development of a Programme for Government for (i) the rest of this mandate; and (ii) for the next mandate.

The creation of an Assembly Committee to monitor the Programme for Government (PfG) is a matter for the Assembly.

Good progress has been achieved towards the development of a new PfG. A draft Outcomes Framework was consulted on recently and responses are currently being analysed to inform design and content of the final version. This will give strategic direction to a more complete PfG incorporating an agreed budget and linked to policies and programmes which will be brought forward for Assembly consideration in due course.
