  6. Debate contribution: Lithium Ion Batteries

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. I would welcome such a review. As Minister and a Member from a neighbouring constituency, he will be aware of the incident at the Clearway site on 2 September 2026, which is one of a number of incidents over the past year or two. Will he commit to publishing the NIEA inspection…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I cannot believe the costing of £26,000 that the Bill sponsor has outlined. I talked about bonfires earlier. I understand that that is a different issue, but the PSNI said that the removal of bonfire materials at Bloomfield Walkway and Cluan Place in my constituency cost it £188,000,…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Just a moment ago, the Member was listing some of the issues around what this is going to cost the Department and the pressure that that will place on it. The Bill sponsor has been very quick to get up to answer your other point. I know that she has been frustrated about the number…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Deputy Speaker, in addressing the point that has just been made, you will be glad to know that I will not get into a discussion about the geography of east Belfast, but I did recognise that the church is there and that it belongs to a neighbouring community in the Short Strand. I…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    Further to the point that was raised by the Member for North Antrim, not only is there an issue around the administration of the provisions but, as we have said previously, there is the issue of enforcement. We know that, when the police have had to remove controversial bonfires, it has cost hundreds of thousands of…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. Again, we have an example where the Bill sponsor does not want to deal with the more awkward issues. I return to the Newtownards Road and the area around Pitt Park in particular. It is a loyalist working-class area that has been attacked and where people were killed by gunfire from the tower of the Catholic…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. The Member talks easily about paramilitary flags and flags that are clearly offensive. The reality, however, is that the emails that we get from constituents are not always about paramilitary flags; they are about flags, including national flags, that are in more of a grey area. What…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. During Mr Clarke's intervention, the Bill sponsor stood to try to speak over him, and when she realised that she could not do that, she made a point of order and continued to give a contribution instead. Is that appropriate?

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

    • Private Members' Business

    The Member's point about places of worship is interesting. I do not see anything in the Bill that suggests that a person who complains about a flag outside a place of worship would have to be a member of that congregation or place of worship. Anyone who passed by that flag and deemed it inappropriate could complain…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    That is absolutely the case. If the Alliance Member's contribution has done nothing else, it has shown us that her party has no traction, no influence and no interest in loyalist working-class communities, and perhaps working-class communities as a whole, because, when working-class communities are affected, what does…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    It raises a question about some places, such as the Newtownards Road in my constituency. It very clearly goes through the heart of a loyalist, working-class community. It is also "an arterial road", which the Bill refers to as one of those sensitive places. Not only on 1 July or 12 July but throughout the summer…

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

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Earlier in the debate, I talked about flags of a loyalist nature. I gave the example of the historical UVF flag and that of the modern-day paramilitary group and spoke about how dates can be used to cloud the waters. Does the Member agree that, on the republican side, the flags that…
