    Automatic enrolment in workplace pensions is an important enhancement of employers' responsibility and provision for employees.

  12. Debate contribution: Musgrave Street Police Station

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I appreciate that it is a matter for the Policing Board, but the Minister will be aware that it is a matter of great concern for communities that will lose the front desk of their local police station, such as at Tennent Street.

    I thank the Minister for his reply and for the attention that he has given to the matter.

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank all Members for their contribution to the debate. I ask Members to note that our amendment replaces just one clause of the Opposition party's motion and does so to highlight the fact that the Executive have agreed many of the key priorities for the mandate. Agreed…

  17. Debate contribution: Programme for Government

    • Opposition Business

    Has the Member read the amendment? It does not interfere with the timescale. It still commits to the draft Programme for Government being published by the summer, so it asks only for recognition of the work that has been advanced. It does not change the timescale or the specific action in the motion.

    Every loss of innocent life is appalling, and that applies equally to innocent Israeli civilians, members of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinians.
