  1. Debate contribution: Standing Order 59A

    • Committee Business

    The Democratic Unionist Party acknowledges that it is appropriate to provide in Standing Orders for the underpinning of the Committees established in this place. On that basis, I align myself with the Chair's comments, particularly on substitute members and the provision thereof. I thank the Chair and members of the…

  2. Debate contribution: Defibrillators in Schools: Funding

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for what, as he said in his statement, will be a truly life-saving investment. He has already covered the element of training, which I was going to ask about. When the devices are in place, will there be an effort, in collaboration with other Departments, to increase the wider community's…

  3. Member's statement: Storm Bert

    • Members' Statements

    Like many in the House, I spent some of this weekend dealing with residents in my constituency who had been affected by the flooding caused by Storm Bert. It has been a stressful time for them and their families. We know, especially in the mouth of Christmas, how they will feel, looking at their belongings that have…

  4. Debate contribution: Domestic Violence: Support for Male Victims

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I understand from the report that a lack of refuges and a lack of access to family may be barriers to men's coming forward. That does not all fall within your remit, Minister, so do you plan to have conversations with other Ministers to see how men can be supported across the Executive?

  5. Topical question AQT 772/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Brooks asked the Minister of Justice, after noting the new research report by the Commissioner Designate for Victims of Crime and Queen's University Belfast that was published this morning, which, importantly, shines a light on male victims of domestic violence, given that, in focusing, rightly, on violence against…

  6. Debate contribution: Universal, Affordable Child-centred Childcare

    • Opposition Business

    The point remains that the Minister's point was made on data that has been collected and is therefore accurate. I will see what I can get through. I want to acknowledge that, in general, in this place, there is goodwill towards childcare. We all want to see improvements for our constituents and families. Indeed, when…

  7. Debate contribution: Universal, Affordable Child-centred Childcare

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. First, I will address what Mr Carroll said. I am not opposed to people's paying their tax or, indeed, better services for working-class people and everyone in society: it is just that the Member tends to lean towards pipe dreams without costing them. We heard that in his own speech in his…

  8. Debate contribution: Universal, Affordable Child-centred Childcare

    • Opposition Business

    Certainly. I agree with the Member on the need for a holistic approach, and I am glad that she sees the worth in the current scheme. Did the Alliance Ministers support the £25 million allocation to the childcare and early learning scheme at the Executive?

    Not flagged

  9. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    • Opposition Business

    Not one unionist in this place supported the protocol, which was cheered on by those who sought to overturn a democratic referendum. Unionists have long known that some embrace the notion of democratic consent only when it suits them. It is clear to unionists that those in this place who speak loudest of the Belfast…

    Flagged Decided on a second assessment. Constitutional question, Brexit, the Windsor Framework and sovereignty Criteria met: Identity framing.

  10. Motion or amendment: Universal, Affordable Child-centred Childcare - Amendment 1

  11. Motion or amendment: Belfast City Centre Dereliction - Amendment 1

    • Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Belfast City Centre Dereliction”

    Belfast City Centre Dereliction - Amendment 1 Leave out all after first ‘dereliction’ and insert: ‘in parts of Belfast City Centre, which has contributed to a growing sense of squalor and decay; expresses frustration at delays in the proposed urban regeneration of the Tribeca Belfast site, as well as dilapidation on a…

  12. Debate contribution: Holiday Hunger and the High Cost of School Uniforms

    • Private Members' Business

    I agree with all the Member says. Does he accept that the fact that there are those wider issues is the reason why it should be catered for in the anti-poverty strategy rather than through single measures from the Education Department?

  13. Debate contribution: Holiday Hunger and the High Cost of School Uniforms

    • Private Members' Business

    Has the Member's narrative for some time not been that there has been great austerity across the UK and that that has had an impact here? Now, he feels that there is plenty of money available in Northern Ireland. Which is it? Are the UK Government being stingy with their Budget and not giving us enough, or is there…

  14. Debate contribution: Holiday Hunger and the High Cost of School Uniforms

    • Private Members' Business

    I beg to move amendment No 1: Do I have 10 minutes? Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. The issues before us today are issues that we would all like to see resolved. We all want the same outcomes: to reduce or remove the undue financial pressure placed on parents where uniform policies are unreasonable and to ensure that…
