  3. Debate contribution: Cost-of-living Crisis

    • Private Members' Business

    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…

  4. Debate contribution: Executive Policy and Spending Priorities

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    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?

  5. Debate contribution: Armed Forces Covenant

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    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 —…

  6. Debate contribution: Special Educational Needs: School Placements

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    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…

  9. Debate contribution: Housing (Amendment) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    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…

  11. Debate contribution: Housing (Amendment) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    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…

  12. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    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…

  15. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Member for his intervention and concur with his remarks. I extend my thanks to Niall and, again, to all involved in making sure that the fleadh was such a success. We particularly welcome the involvement of bands from the unionist tradition, which has been highlighted by other…

  17. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

    • Opposition Business

    It is fair to say that the fleadh was a success not only for Belfast but for the wider region. There is a great deal to be proud of, and we congratulate everyone who contributed to its success. The organisers, Belfast City Council, the Departments, agencies and local businesses all deserve credit. So too do the…

  18. Debate contribution: Deposit Return Scheme: Introduction in Northern Ireland

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Is the Minister able to advise whether, as part of the engagement with Exchange for Change, there has been any discussion about what supports will be in place for those with reduced mobility, for example, who perhaps will not be able to return the containers themselves?

  19. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Disabled Toilets

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for her follow-up question. While no formal assessment has been undertaken to establish a direct correlation between facilities and attendance by people with disabilities, we regularly engage with and welcome to Parliament Buildings people with disabilities through a range of forums, including…

  20. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Disabled Toilets

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for her question. There are two accessible toilet cubicles available to visitors on the ground floor, one designated for male use and one for female use. On the first floor, there is an additional accessible toilet facility that is available for use by all visitors. In addition, as I mentioned in my…

  21. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Changing Places

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Assembly Commission engages regularly with disability organisations and has a forum in place, which dates back over a decade. It engages regularly with outside stakeholders and, as I have already said, the Assembly Commission is keen to receive feedback from stakeholders, disabled people or, indeed, Members.

  22. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Changing Places

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for his follow-up question and, indeed, for raising that important matter. It is important that all Members, when they become aware of disability access issues, raise them so that the Assembly Commission can consider them. The Assembly Commission has no plans to install additional Changing Places…

  23. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Changing Places

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for his question. The Assembly Commission installed a Changing Places facility in Parliament Buildings in 2011. Standard accessible toilets do not meet the needs of many people, including those with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Our Changing Places facility is designed to address such…

  24. Debate contribution: Charities (Amendment) Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    The Minister referenced the administrative burden, and he may come back and say that we are getting ahead of ourselves, but does he have any thoughts at this stage on audit thresholds? The Bill seeks to keep the powers around that flexibility, but has he any thoughts on where they should be?
