For the past seven minutes of your winding-up speech, you have been talking about something coming out of the Executive. What is really hurting you right now is that you know that we will not support the principle of what you want to do. It is being set out clearly that the Bill that you really want will not get…
The Member has said an awful lot, but this is his party, and it will use a petition of concern (POC). How is that democracy? His party is going to do it again, but we have to listen to him whine on and on about it.
Teachers have nothing to fear, but it is also about the timing of the Bill. Inspections have been happening, and changes have been made, but the legislation would sanction teachers. You talked about our most vulnerable children: I am sorry, but it is the system that makes our children vulnerable. Many of our children…

I am not saying that that cannot be done; I am saying that I do not trust him. If we hollow out the Bill, we are not going to end up getting what we think that we are going to get. The whole principle behind the Bill is to sanction teachers. That is why teachers are so angry, and that is why we will vote against it.…
Does he share my concerns that teachers may be looking at our experience in the Education Committee when our 11 amendments to the school uniforms Bill were not brought to the Floor for debate? Maybe that is what teachers are thinking about.
Are you always going to take it that, if something comes out of the Executive, that is an endorsement? Scrutiny should happen in the Chamber. You should know all about that. You will not let the 'good jobs' employment rights Bill go through. Do you want us to keep blocking everything? Is that what you want us to do,…
