Mr Colin Crawford: Assembly records
All of Mr Colin Crawford’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank my party colleagues for bringing this important motion to the House. It is absolutely right that the Assembly addresses the significant impact of any child going hungry. That should not happen today in Northern Ireland or, indeed, anywhere else in the world. The challenges are not…
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. How does your Department measure the economic impact of policies that specifically target rural areas, and how often are those assessments carried out?
Minister, I have a follow-on from Mr Dickson's original question. How will the Department monitor progress on reducing red tape in the Education Authority, and what matrix will be used to evaluate success?
I thank the Minister for her statement. Can the Minister set out the criteria that were used to determine the different allocations to each Department?
Together, we can address educational underachievement and build a brighter future for our children. Let us invest in their potential, because, when our children thrive, our communities flourish.
Education is the most powerful weapon that we have at our disposal. It has the potential to lift individuals out of poverty, to break cycles of disadvantage and to create opportunities that can transform lives. However, too often, many of our children in Northern Ireland are left behind. The reality is that many of…
Thank you very much, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Today, we gather with a shared purpose and, hopefully, as the junior Minister said, cross-party support to breathe new life into our high streets and towns right across Northern Ireland. Those vibrant hubs are not just places of commerce but the beating hearts of…
I thank the Minister for his answer. He is aware that homelessness is not confined to the hours from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. Can he outline what measures he has taken to prevent homelessness and to safeguard the out-of-hours service that the Northern Ireland Housing Executive provides?
Holiday Hunger and the High Cost of School Uniforms That this Assembly notes with grave concern the significant impact of holiday hunger and the high cost of school uniforms and PE kits on families across Northern Ireland; further notes that during the absence of a functioning Executive, funding for the school holiday…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Rejuvenating our High Streets and Town Centres (Revised Wording)”
Rejuvenating our High Streets and Town Centres (Revised Wording) - Amendment 3 At end insert: ‘and to include actions to address long-term derelict buildings, which are detrimental to town centre development.’
It is unfortunate that vaping is often seen as harmless and perceived to be fun and a trendy alternative to smoking. The harsh reality is that it carries significant risks that we cannot overlook. Each year, countless young people are drawn into the world of vaping as they believe it to be a safe and fashionable…
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thought that I was getting off lightly. At the outset of my remarks, I put on record my thanks, my party's thanks and, hopefully, the thanks of all Members to every single teacher of the deaf, classroom assistant and support staff member who work extremely hard each day to…
I thank the First Minister for her answer. What assurances can she give us, as Members, and the public that the Executive Office will provide a strong, strategic agenda between now and the end of the mandate?
I thank the Minister for his statement. He will be aware that Castle Tower School in my constituency has recently had to expand into the former Ballee High School site due to increasing need. Minister, will young people between 16 and 18 who have a special educational need also be included, and what additional…
Mr Crawford asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether there is any strategy or legislation that is not progressing through the Executive Office due to any ongoing disagreements between them.
Minister, the recent BBC 'Spotlight' programme was incredibly effective and impactful in driving home the challenges and pressures that some families face. Will the Minister commit to leaving no stone unturned in finding a resolution, and does he agree that it is essential for his Department to continue to work with…
Following on from Mr Bradley's question, what engagement has the Minister had with Executive colleagues about supporting local businesses to ensure maximum trading opportunities during the Open?
Much of today's debate has been and will be informed by the work of Professor Jones. Once again, I put on record my thanks and that of my party for the passion and commitment that he and his team displayed in conducting the review. The review also greatly benefited from all the young people, parents and carers…
I congratulate my former colleagues at Wrightbus on securing a landmark deal to supply more than 1,000 buses to the Go-Ahead Group over the next three years. The deal, which is the largest in the company's 78-year history, will see hundreds of Go-Ahead buses built each year, for the next three years, at Wrightbus'…
