Minister for Finance

I am aware of this commitment in "A Programme for a Partnership Government" to increase the Small Benefit Exemption. I will not commit at this stage to a specific date but I can confirm that I will consider its implementation in the context of the Budget and Finance Bill cycle in 2017.
