Last month, the Government parties agreed a renewed programme for Government.

Our initial Programme for Government, published following the 2007 General Election, made clear that its delivery was based on a growth rate of 4.5%. It was negotiated prior to the worst global downtown since the 1930s. The recent review is about ensuring the programme for Government reflects current economic realities.

Achievement of the goals set out in both documents, subject to resources, will provide the political basis of Government action, until we complete our term in 2012
