    As I said, the CIT programme came about in 2016. A refreshed approach was taken on the basis of the evidence. The same eight areas came up when the refresh was done.

    I thank the Member for his question. CIT came about in 2016, and the Executive Office has taken a refreshed approach.

    I thank the Member for her question. It is fair and true to say that there has been important progress to date, particularly in CIT. It has evolved.

  15. Debate contribution: Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    If you go back to the clause, you see that it refers to: "A person who was admitted". At the minute, clause 31(8) states "A person", so, in the scenario that your amendment describes, a person is not defined as being someone who was admitted as a baby and as a birth mother thereafter. I am just trying to understand…
