§ Mr. TyrieTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when his economic policy unit was established; which of its reports are placed in the public domain; how many departmental or non-departmental Special Advisers participate in its work; how many regular(a) non-departmental and (b) departmental staff participate in its work; and how many of these work for the unit on a full-time basis. [150375]
§ Dr. ReidEconomic policy has been devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly and an Economic Policy Unit has been set up within the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister. It is therefore no longer a matter for the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
