The open-book review was a condition of the £400m reserve claim the Northern Ireland Executive received at Supplementary Estimates 2025-26. The review’s Terms of Reference were agreed between HM Treasury and the Northern Ireland Executive.

The exercise has now concluded, and HM Treasury has shared the report with the Northern Ireland Department of Finance.
