§ Mr. Pounderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arrangement he proposes for presenting the Northern Ireland Budget.
§ Mr. David HowellMy right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer will mention any proposals for transferred tax changes in Northern Ireland when he introduces his own Budget and Orders in Council will be introduced as required to bring any such changes into force.
This procedure will ensure that the House and the Northern Ireland public will know of the tax proposals as early as practicable. As soon as convenient after the end of the financial year the normal Northern Ireland Financial Statement will be published giving the usual financial tables and more detailed information about the tax changes.
