As the rumours began to swirl about the looming cuts to social security and as the plans became clearer, I could not help but recall the moment outside Downing Street — I have mentioned this before, and I make no apologies for highlighting it again — when the rain was pouring down and the then PM came out to call the…
Obviously, the Assembly Commission takes security very seriously. There are measures in place to mitigate such incidents. I do not have any detail about any serious incidents that have taken place, so I will have to come back to the Member.
I thank the Member for his question. The most recent review of security at Parliament Buildings was carried out in 2022 by the PSNI. That followed earlier reviews carried out in 2011 and 2015. The PSNI has agreed to carry out another security review, which it hopes to commence this month.
I thank the Member for his question. As I emphasised, the settlement agreement is full and final, and it is confidential. It is subject to legal privilege.
The Assembly Commission had initially hoped to reach a settlement with the original contractors to repair the roof while avoiding legal proceedings. Unfortunately, the commencement of legal proceedings was unavoidable, and the Assembly Commission is pleased to have reached a full and final settlement in that regard.…
As I highlighted in the original answer and the follow-up, there are two distinct phases. They will encompass all the works that are required to be taken forward.
As I mentioned, phase 1 of the works will be carried out during the summer recess. The remainder of the repairs will commence, following the award of a contract by construction division, in early 2026. The timescales for the remainder of the repairs are in keeping with a project of this scale.
With your permission, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I will group questions 4, 10 and 11. I thank the Members for their questions. The Assembly Commission is pleased to have reached a full and final confidential settlement in relation to the legal proceedings initiated following the previous work project. Following…
The Minister has highlighted his pressing on the revitalisation of the Housing Executive, but we have not yet achieved it. Will he expand on the cause of the delay?
When we talk about there being tens of thousands of people on our housing waiting lists, it is important to remember, as other Members have highlighted and as the Minister will no doubt highlight, that they are individuals, families and people, young and old, who are languishing in a housing system that is broken.…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any support her Department can provide to (i) businesses; and (ii) employees impacted by the imminent closure of Connswater Shopping Centre.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any support his Department can offer to charities located within Connswater Shopping Centre who are directly impacted by its imminent closure.
Importantly, the Member highlights the fact that we could have already debated a motion had this place been up and running. Equally, however, we could have had a Minister pulling ministerial levers to try to address the problem.
Extension of Sitting on Monday 10 March 2025 under Standing Order 10(3A) That, in accordance with Standing Order 10(3A), the sitting on Monday 10 March 2025 be extended to no later than 7.30pm.
