When is it proposed to resume the debate on the Multi-Unit Developments Bill? Has a date been agreed for the debate requested by a number of colleagues regarding domestic violence? Would it be possible to hold it before the end of the session?

I refer to the comments of colleagues on next week's budget. We do not have sufficient money for the next few years. The budget will represent an incredible challenge to the Government but if it cannot exempt people on welfare from cuts and the impact of the budget, then under no circumstances can any other sector of our community be exempt. I agree with colleagues that the challenge in the budget will be to achieve the most equitable solution while minimising the impact on the most vulnerable sectors of our community.
