However, is he able to advise whether he has had any engagement with the Housing Executive on providing funding for its cavity wall insulation plans? If you will indulge me, Mr Speaker, I…
As chairperson of the all-party group on fuel poverty, I bring to the House's attention National Energy Action's Fuel Poverty Awareness Day, which is tomorrow, Wednesday 27 November.

Derelict properties and vacant land result in lost revenue…
I, too, join colleagues in thanking the Minister for his proactive approach on the matter. Will the Minister give a commitment that, when it comes to the allocation of funding, the trusts and his Department will work at pace to see tangible proposals and the delivery of support on the ground?
To ask the Minister for Communities whether he has considered delivering a new Living Over the Shops Scheme on foot of the 2016 public and corporate economic consultants report.
The Member will recognise that Members from across the House have placed significant emphasis, perhaps rightly, on the anti-poverty strategy. Does he agree that it is important that the Department learns the lessons from the recent Public Accounts Committee report on child poverty?
Does the Member recognise that, had this place not been abruptly pulled down for a considerable number of years, we might already have seen action on these important issues?

In that vein, what engagement has he had with his colleague the Minister of Education on taking a preventative approach with younger…
