Mr Danny Baker: Assembly records
All of Mr Danny Baker’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Minister for her answer and for putting inclusion and equality at the heart of what she does. Will the Minister consider extending the half-fare pass for disabled people to full fare?
Recent statistics show that 38% of households living in poverty include a person with a disability, which highlights disability as a real risk factor that can contribute to a person's falling into poverty. What new measures aimed at tackling disability-related poverty will flow from the strategy?
Ending Academic Selection That this Assembly notes with concern the continued use of academic selection and transfer tests as a means of determining post-primary school transfer within our education system; recognises the extensive body of evidence from educational experts, including the United Nations Committee on…
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. The Colin area is the wee part of the world that I live in and represent. We benefited greatly from Urban Villages, especially after we came into the Belfast City Council area after decades of neglect when we were under the Lisburn council. Will the deputy First…
Saturday was International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Over 100,000 people marched in London, and there were large rallies in Belfast and Dublin. Yesterday, my friend Tuathlaith ran 52 miles and cycled a further 52 miles in an ultramarathon to raise money for mobile maternity units in Gaza. That is…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the impact of the work undertaken by their Department through the Urban Villages Initiative in West Belfast.
I thank the Member for proposing this very important motion. Sadly, we have debated this issue, and the relevant statistics, a lot in the near two years since we have been back. There is a lot of support around the House for addressing the issue. However, we have not had action. We cannot have any more missed…
To ask the Minister of Justice for her assessment of the efficiency of the youth justice system in the processing of cases involving children and young people.
I thank the Minister for her statement. Investing in infrastructure, Casement Park and our people is to be welcomed and supported. Can the First Minister provide an update on the Shared Ireland initiative?
To ask the Minister of Education whether he advised officials, at any point, of the location of the school he visited during his October 2025 visit to Israel.
To ask the Minister of Education the detail the reason his Department was in communication with the Israeli Embassy in London in relation to what was described as a private trip.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail whether he is aware that the school he visited in Israel is located in territory deemed to be illegally occupied, under international law.
For a long time, we have had no confidence in the Minister of Education. Arrogance, incompetence and financial mismanagement have been the hallmark of Paul Givan's time in office. He blames everyone but himself. Just last week, the Education Authority (EA) informed parents and education other than at school (EOTAS)…
Minister, I have a private Member's Bill, which you replied to me about at the beginning to tell me that you would not be supporting it, so I know where you stand. The proposals made by the EA were brought to the board for noting; there was no decision. Why are you standing here trying to mislead the Assembly, once…
Thank you, Minister. What steps will the Department take to monitor and assess whether the new youth custody and supervision orders are being used as a measure of last resort?
Mr Baker asked the Minister of Justice, given that, during the public consultation on the new youth custody and supervision orders, views were openly split between those in favour of setting the minimum duration and those against, whether setting a minimum duration is in keeping with children's rights.
