Answer
My Department has no role in the negotiation or agreement of the pay settlement for Housing Executive employees. The pay settlement for Housing Executive workers is agreed at U.K. Level through collective bargaining arrangements.
These are wholly matters for the Housing Executive, TUS and its employees. I will, in line with DoF guidance, need to approve the pay award once an agreed settlement has been reached.
