Deposited Papers 2026
Deposited Papers are unpublished Papers placed in the Library at the direction of the Speaker or a Minister in the Executive. In most cases they provide information requested in an Assembly Question. Guidance on the laying, presenting and depositing of papers in the Northern Ireland Assembly (as outlined at Standing Order 23 of the Assembly's Standing Orders) has been published by NICS.
The following list contains details of documents which have been deposited in the Library in 2025 (in pdf format). Copies of these and all other Deposited Papers are currently available in the Assembly Library for consultation. The list is in reverse chronological order.
