Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with Ministers in the Northern Ireland Government on establishment of a child funeral fund to support bereaved families.

Treasury Ministers and officials have regular discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive on matters of importance to the economy across the UK, including on funding for justice issues.

Matters of justice are devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive. It is for them to set their own priorities and determine the allocation of funds to deal with justice issues from within their own budgets.
