To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister, given that the Good Relations Indicators for 2020 have not been published, for their assessment of the impact this will have on strategic planning and investment for community cohesion measures in the multi-year budget.

We look forward to the publication of Good Relations Indicators in early 2022. We welcome steps towards a three year budget, however allocation of funding for the good relations strategy will continue to be based on number of factors including: assessment of need; engaging with data pre-publication; analysis of trends in data over previous years; programme evaluation; and in-year assessments. The Indicators will continue to play an important role in that process.

We remain fully committed to good relations work and look forward to further progress in the future.
