Answer

We intend to seek the agreement of the Executive Committee in the near future to amendments to the Ministerial Code to reflect the changes in the law introduced by the Executive Committee (Functions) Act 2020. Once agreement has been obtained, we will seek the scheduling of a debate on a motion for the approval of the Assembly.
