To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on work pursuant to the High Street Taskforce Delivering a 21st Century High Street report.

The report presented to us by the High Street Task Force represents a genuine collaboration across many sectors, and we would like to thank the Members of the High Street Task Force for their work.

The scope of the 14 recommendations span the responsibilities of a number of departments, and we wrote to Ministerial colleagues at the Departments for Communities, Economy, Finance and Infrastructure on October 10th, asking them to consider the recommendations and determine the way forward, bringing matters to the Executive for consideration as necessary.

A number of responses have been received to date and we look forward to seeing how the recommendations are taken forward.
