Mr Andy Allen MBE: Assembly records
All of Mr Andy Allen MBE’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
The Member calls on the UK Government to do more. I do not necessarily disagree with him. However, will he place on record where the funding for the £63 energy discount came from?
I too thank the SDLP for bringing this important motion to the House. The cost of living continues to be a real pressure for households across Northern Ireland. I see its effect daily, and I have no doubt, as other Members have articulated, that they too see it across their constituency offices. Energy costs in…
I thank the First Minister for her answer. Prevention and early intervention need to be at the heart of everything that we do. Does the First Minister accept that, while we have made progress in some areas, there is much work to be done in other areas to ensure that that is the primary focus?
I declare an interest as an armed forces veteran, and a proud one at that. I was proud to stand up and serve with Her Majesty's armed forces and would do so again tomorrow. Some of the comments from across the way are, frankly, disgraceful. The Executive have responsibility for this, given that many of the services —…
To ask the Minister of Justice whether, prior to the publication of the court judgment, her Department raised any issues regarding the court's decision to release Gary Anderson without the case being referred back to the Northern Ireland Prison Service.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any measures introduced by his Department to address food insecurity in each of the last five financial years, including any budget allocated to each measure in each year.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) any assessment his Department has made of existing interventions in reducing food insecurity; and (ii) any steps being taken to reduce reliance on emergency food provision and support longer term prevention.
To ask the Minister for Communities pursuant to AQW 21947/17-22, whether (i) the review referred to was completed before the end of the 2017-22 Assembly mandate; and (ii) any recommendations arising from that review were presented to him upon taking up office.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the stage within the 28-day statutory period applicants threatened with homelessness have been provided with temporary accommodation under the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1988, in each of the last five years.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any steps they are taking to ensure that prevention and early intervention are embedded across Executive policy and spending priorities.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline the steps he is taking to restore confidence across the farming community in his Department’s agricultural policies.
I thank the Minister for his answer and for the update on the improvements that have been made. I am sure that, like me, the Minister and other Members are all too often approached by families seeking representation to improve the process further. What assurance can the Minister give to families that he will work to…
Exclusion of the First Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the First Minister no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly because, by participating in the unlawful protest on the Garvaghy…

To ask the Minister of Education for an update on steps being taken to reduce delays in securing appropriate school placements and support for children with special educational needs.
To come back on the point that the Member for North Belfast made, perhaps he misunderstood the point that I made, which was that, if we were to move to 60 days and a negative homeless decision was made, the individual would be able to challenge that within that period rather than beyond the 28-day period, which is…
From the outset, I confirm that the Ulster Unionist Party will support the Bill at Second Stage. It is narrow in scope and seeks to make what we see as a modest change, extending the period in which someone is considered "threatened with homelessness" from 28 days to 60 days, as we have heard from other Members. In…
Before the Member addresses the amendments, I note that there was a bit of an exchange about affordability. Of course, that is important, because we need to provide certainty to those who may receive the payments if the Bill becomes law, but does the Committee Chair also recognise the cost to this place and the impact…
