  3. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    As I say, if anyone wants to have a look at that list, they are welcome to do so. I will go back to the definition of the offence of providing conversion therapy. To be guilty of that offence, there are three criteria. The first is that you carry out conversion therapy. The second is that you have: "the intent of…

  4. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I hope that the Bill sponsor will address that point when he makes his winding-up speech. This evening, I looked up the number of gender types that have been claimed. There is a list of 72. I do not know whether there are more than that. Quite frankly, when you look down the list, you can only describe it as nonsense.…

  7. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Clause 7 of the Member's Bill says more about how we define "intent", so I will jump ahead to that. Clause 7(1) states: "For the purposes of this Act, there is no intent to change or suppress sexual orientation or gender identity if— (a) there is no intent to direct a victim towards a particular sexual orientation or…

  8. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I will come on to the other two clauses that the Bill sponsor mentioned. My concern throughout has been that he has set an extremely low bar in the Bill, which would see all sorts of people potentially facing prosecution. People might have what they thought was a reasonable conversation with somebody, but, afterwards,…

  9. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    No. It is a wee bit early yet. The sponsor has accepted that existing legislation already criminalises the objectionable activities that we are told have taken place in the past as conversion practices in relation to people's sexual orientation or gender identity, such as physical assault, imprisonment, forced…

  10. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I am deeply concerned about the Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill. In fact, I consider it to be something of a Trojan horse, as I will explain. The sponsor, the Alliance MLA, Mr Tennyson, has accepted —.

  11. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I believe that I heard the Speaker say yesterday that the matter of gender identity could be debated as part of this debate. That was his considered ruling on the matter.

  13. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026: Public Transport

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Will the Minister outline the ongoing action that is being taken to prevent the travel of non-permitted vehicles through the core of the city centre, the old security zone, whilst still allowing buses to travel through it? Sometimes there are cars travelling through the area that are not permitted to do so.

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

    • Private Members' Business

    Does the Member recognise that the Housing Executive's role is to support people who have difficulty with their accommodation at any stage? It is not as though it waits and says, "We can't help you until you've only 28 days left of your tenancy". If people say, "I need accommodation", or, "I'm going to lose my…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    As we have heard, the Bill proposes one amendment to the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1988, which is that the Housing Executive can designate someone as "threatened with homelessness" 60 days in advance of their losing their home, rather than 28 days, as it is currently. The Bill proposer tells us that, in other…

  22. Debate contribution: Hip Surgery: Waiting Times

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for that detail. My question quoted information that I received from a Belfast Trust reply, which said that the estimated waiting time is seven to eight years, which alarmed me. I hope that that does not reflect the reality, as the Minister said. The constituent who contacted me has bone-on-bone…
