MPs debated all Commons stages of the Northern Ireland Budget (Anticipation and Adjustment) (No. 2) Bill in the House of Commons on Tuesday 5 March 2019.

All stages

This Bill was fast-tracked through Parliament and, as such, all Commons stages took place on one day. This included second reading, committee of the whole House, report stage and third reading. The Bill completed all stages without any amendments or any divisions. The Bill now returns to the Lords.
