Mr Brian Kingston: Assembly records
All of Mr Brian Kingston’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I realise now that you were referring to the Sinn Féin Member, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank my colleague for giving way so that I could reinforce his point that military spending is not expendable and thus able to be done away with. Military spending is a serious matter in the modern world. From listening to Sinn Féin…
The Member makes a very important point. The Sinn Féin Member for Foyle, who perhaps wants to be in the Dáil rather than here, talked about the British Government's not doing anything for the Irish people. As the Member for North Down explained, while the Republic of Ireland holds the presidency of the Council of the…
First Minister, do you understand that a vast number of people across Northern Ireland think that you have chosen to damage community relations and promote intolerance rather than uphold your ministerial Pledge of Office?
You went back, 30 years, through your promotion of intolerance, refusal to negotiate and total misrepresentation of the nature of a peaceful and legal procession.
First Minister, in my opinion, not only did you breach your ministerial pledge at paragraphs (ce): "to support the rule of law unequivocally in word and deed" through your illegal blocking of a legal parade, but you failed to uphold paragraph (ca): "to promote the interests of the whole community ... towards the goal…
This is the question, Mr Speaker: given the need for cross-departmental working on the issue, will the Minister commission a working group alongside the Department of Justice, in particular, and, potentially, the Department for Infrastructure, to look at all the relevant issues?
I thank the Minister for that answer. Indeed, that ABI report set out that, in 2025, motor insurance premiums were 9% higher in Northern Ireland than they were in the rest of the UK. It highlighted a number of factors, including that claims here were 59% higher than the UK average, and that bodily injury claims here…
There is deep irony in a Sinn Féin Minister's accepting a ruling from the Court of Appeal this week. They think that they can pick and choose. Minister, now that you have got the green light for major infrastructure projects to proceed, will you look again at, and advance planning for, the York Street interchange in…
I welcome the Minister's commitment to ensuring the development of those core skills. Minister, how do the PISA results compare with the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) literacy and numeracy assessment results that were published last week?
If the SDLP had had its way, and the Executive had sought to implement the inadequate Budget as set out by the Finance Minister earlier this year, that would have been truly devastating for public services and jobs across all nine Departments. The Secretary of State had requested a response by last Thursday to the…
First Minister, the illegal blocking of the reduced and legal Drumcree parade eight days ago was a disaster for the community relations and mutual tolerance in Northern Ireland that we should all uphold. Indeed, it has been a slap in the face for the unionists who encouraged people to take part in the all-Ireland…
Does the Minister agree that the generosity displayed by unionists during the fleadh in Belfast this summer stands in stark contrast to the lawbreakers of Sinn Féin, whose intolerance of unionist culture is damaging community relations in Portadown?
Does the Minister agree that, whatever Members in other parties say, a substantial number of people who do not want to cause offence to anyone will always believe that your gender is your biological sex. People might want to live their private lives in whatever way they wish, but, when it comes to public policy and…
