It is aye or no, but I do not have the context to go down the route of saying aye. I will go through the No Lobby when we vote, but, if I were to have the context that neither you nor the Executive have provided, I might go through the Aye Lobby. We can change our mind if information is available. I think that you…

Minister, I do not accept that summary of what I set out. It is not a case of accepting it or not: there is context. There is data.

Minister, you are misrepresenting me. I did not say that. I said that I am sympathetic to what you are trying to do. I am just not sympathetic with how you are trying to do it. A Back-Bench amendment is not the appropriate vehicle by which to do it. I would much rather see a collective Executive response, and I…

No, I will make progress, because I expect that the intervention will be more of the same. What I suggest to you is that, if you want to move forward on the issue, which you and your colleagues are clearly so passionate about — as I said, I am not unsympathetic to what you are trying to do — you need to convince us as…

Wow, Minister. I think that you are failing to govern, which is why this is being introduced as a Back-Bench amendment by your party. What I am suggesting to you is —.

No, Minister, I am not making excuses for taking no decision; I have said that I cannot accept the premise of the change on the basis of amendments, because I am not convinced that that is the right way to do it. I have heard others say the same. With respect, Minister, if you cannot do it as a Minister in the…

It is the silo approach to our government. It is the fact that the Departments are not working together. That is the failure. That is where progress has not happened. I appreciate what the Minister said about a trauma-informed approach. Prior to her being announced as Justice Minister, I met with her permanent…

No, I want to finish my point. I will give way in a minute. My point is that, if we cannot get that commitment around the Executive table, how can we genuinely ensure that what we are trying to do will be fully implemented? That is a risk.

I did not say that progress was not happening outside of the Building. My point was that progress has not happened inside it. Otherwise, the measure would be in a stand-alone Bill introduced by the Minister of Justice, not an amendment from one of her party colleagues on the Back Benches. The reason that it has been…

Minister, I agree with you, but what is being proposed is the end point rather than being about how we get there. I will continue, and the Minister can interject as appropriate. Had this proposal come before the Assembly as part of a fully developed Executive strategy, not a Justice proposal as such, but supported by…

I appreciate that, and I have reviewed the Ray Jones report. I can see the groundwork that has been laid, but my difficulty is that that was a health and social care report. Minister, with respect, if we were going to get the support from an Executive who have to follow through on legislation, the change would have…

I am sure that you are all delighted to see me stand to give my contribution — well, we will see. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I hope to give a different perspective from that of other Members. I am not able to support any of the amendments, and, in my contribution, I will explain why. If children as young as 10 are coming…
