Mr. Raab replied: "The Chancellor will be saying more on the economic measures and the particular fiscal measures he referred to tomorrow."
Last week the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) Minister Steve Baker said they roll-out of the payment had been delayed because there was no Executive at Stormont.
He stated: "Efforts have been hampered very substantially by not having an Executive and I just say that we all should acknowledge that without an Executive these things are more difficult to deliver."
