No additional Treasury funds for PSNI data breach

Caoimhe Archibald was giving an update on the impact of last week’s Westminster budget.

Northern Ireland got an additional £660m for this year and a further £1.5bn next year.

Archibald told MLAs that the Executive was also hoping a reserve claim could be used for other one-off costs such as the PSNI holiday pay judgement.

She said: “It was anticipated that if these costs were to crystallise in 2024-25 that they might be funded by a Reserve claim.

“However, given the level of in year funding provided to the Executive in this Autumn Budget, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury has indicated, that while further conversations are possible, the Treasury position is that in the first instance, that these should be funded from the settlements announced.”

She added that she still considers these items to be unaffordable and is still seeking to negotiate for a reserve claim.
