Stormont Finance Minister Sammy Wilson has voiced Northern Ireland recession worries during the Commons debate on George Osborne's Budget.
Mr Wilson also issued a plea for more information on spending cuts heading for Stormont.
The DUP MP and MLA warned in Parliament that Executive ministers have been “planning in a vacuum” due to the lack of detail on future funding.
The cuts facing Stormont budgets from 2011 will not be known until October.
Mr Wilson told the Commons yesterday: “We have been told that there will be a 25% cut in departmental expenditure limits over the next four years, but that it will not apply evenly and some departments and areas of Government spending will be hit more than others.
