Finance Minister Arlene Foster has met with her counterparts from Scotland and Walsh to discuss matters of common financial interest to the devolved administrations.
The agenda included working with the UK Government on follow-up to the Summer Budget and in the lead up to the Spending Review; constitutional developments; and investment in infrastructure.

We are seeking early engagement with HM Treasury and will collectively present our agreement on pertinent issues.
