  4. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I think that you made the same point as me, so I will let that stand. I do not want to go on past the lunch break. I commend the Member for what she is trying to do. I charge the Executive, and any incoming one, to address the issue in the right way. We are all sitting here as potential Members of the next Assembly.…

  5. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I slightly disagree. Yes, there is legislation in place, but it is not being implemented. Again, I maintain that the Bill is not the right vehicle, but it is important that we strengthen existing legislation in order to give statutory agencies the confidence to take down such flags. Alternatively, we need to direct…

  6. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    No. I will try to finish my contribution. I disagree slightly with Mr Gaston. This is not just about paramilitary flags. I take great exception to seeing the Union flag flying tattered from a lamp post. I would like to see such flags being removed much more swiftly, and even other flags. I will not say that I take…

  7. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Mr Gaston articulates a lack of confidence in public services and in institutions generally. If we were to create any new commission, we would need to make sure that that would not happen.

  8. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thanks very much for the intervention. I appreciate that both Members want me to vote with them. The difficulty for me is that, yes, I support the principles of the Bill, but the context is the Bill that has been drafted. We will not be able to change it in any substantive way that will make me content with it, so I…

  9. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I think so. The House has been criticised in the past for not writing good legislation. I have done that myself. I absolutely support the principle, but I do not support the vehicle. With reference to some of Mr Dickson's points, I fully expect, given that he has colleagues in the Executive, that he will use that…

  10. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Through the Chair, I appreciate that. Equally, however, I receive an awful lot more correspondence about people wanting their roads to be fixed and their street lights to be lit. That is the balance that we will have to decide on: what is the priority? To be fair, I also receive correspondence expressing concern about…

  11. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    As with all these things, there is context, and that is important. I am pleased that that is featured in the Bill, but, again, is it the Department for Infrastructure that should be considering that context? I am not entirely sure that it is. If anything, you would nearly need to build a new unit into the Department…

  12. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for the contribution. That is kind of what I was setting out when talking about which Department is the appropriate one to address the issue. Again, we could take offence at anything that is hung off a lamp post. On what basis do we bring it down? Do we bring it down because we disagree with it, or…

  13. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the sponsor for making that point. That is fair, but, given the limited scope of what the Bill can achieve, it has to be put into a much wider context. I do not necessarily agree that the Department for Infrastructure should do that. It should be done at a much more senior, overarching level, given the nature…

  14. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I begin by acknowledging the work that the Member has put into bringing the Bill before the House. That is important, because I do not want my concerns about the Bill to be interpreted as suggesting that there is not a problem here; there absolutely is. Flags should not be used to intimidate people, to mark territory…

  15. Written question AQW 52648/22-27

    • Department of Health

    To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the current mileage reimbursement arrangements for district nurses and Health and Social Care Trust-employed domiciliary care workers who use their own vehicles for work-related travel; (ii) when these arrangements were last reviewed; and (iii) any steps being taken in…

  16. Written question AQW 52647/22-27

    • Department of Health

    To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of the potential impact of rising fuel costs on the ability of district nursing and domiciliary care services to provide timely care in the community, including any resulting impact on (i) Emergency Department attendances; and (ii) hospital admissions.
