Government’s key policy objectives have been set out in both the Programme for Government and in the Statement of Government Priorities which was published in July 2014. I will lead those actions within my remit, particularly in relation to addressing housing needs through a number of actions including revision of planning legislation and the development and implementation of a new Social Housing Strategy. I will also be driving my Department’s contribution to economic development by supporting the delivery of a range of other Government Strategies, including the Action Plan for Jobsand the Construction 2020Strategy and I will ensure my Department plays a full role in our ongoing national recovery.
