£34m from spring statement cannot be allocated due to lack of Executive – Murphy

The transcript discusses the challenges faced in allocating funds due to the DUP's halt of executive functioning, which prevents new funding allocations without prior agreement. Efforts are being made to address cost of living issues, but Treasury's response is pending. Legal advice indicates that an executive is needed to allocate new funds, and without it, significant amounts of money remain unused. The speaker emphasizes the need for Treasury to consider these constraints when transferring additional funds.
