Stormont's Finance Minister Conor Murphy has joined with his counterparts in Wales and Scotland to call on Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi to increase targeted support for those worst impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.
In a joint letter, Mr Murphy, along with Rebecca Evans and Kate Forbes, said that further action is needed to support households and businesses ahead of another increase in energy prices.
They also urge the Chancellor to develop a "fair approach" to public sector pay and ask for an increase in devolved budgets to deal with emerging pressures, including in the health service.
