.Jeremy_Hunt says he is 'absolutely determined' to deliver the £400 energy payments to Northern Ireland households

Jeremy Hunt was responding to a question from Democratic Unionist Party MP Sammy Wilson, who asked about the £400 energy bill discount.

He said he wanted to ensure the support was available to everyone across the UK as quickly as possible. Mr Wilson claimed that some senior civil servants are seeking to use delays in the package as a "lever to get the assembly back up and running".Image caption,Meanwhile, the government has been criticised after it emerged a joint taskforce set up to help deliver the £400 discount to NI households has only met twice.

The detail was confirmed to Labour's shadow Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Kyle following a written ministerial question.
