Minister, two weeks ago, you launched a consultation on an internal departmental Irish language policy: when will you launch a similar consultation for Ulster Scots?
It is not unusual to hear politicians bash the BBC, and perhaps that is especially so on these Benches, but, credit where it is due, in the past couple of weeks, it has done a fair bit to shine a light on the realities of the conveyor belt of small boats coming to the UK and on the division and resentment that illegal…

While we may yet divide on the amendment, there is a lot of commonality in what has been said around the Chamber. I share some of my colleagues' frustrations that the much-anticipated report on…
Will the Member recognise that a lot of that innovation and so on around more sustainable travel will take place in private industry and it is already looking to do that? We cannot see our airports or our industry restricted at a time when those things are being developed, because, in the long run, when we get to a…
I thank the Minister for her answer. I am glad that some progress has been made. Members who drive through my constituency will know that there is still some way to go, however. Minister, when the issue was raised amid the chaos of February 2026, you stood in the Chamber and assured Members that they could engage with…
I thank the Minister for her answer. We have an Economy Minister who is AWOL at best and a First Minister who talks down investment in this place. I can only imagine that the aerospace and defence sector, which is an anchor of employment in my constituency, is dismayed. Does the deputy First Minister agree that we…

Mr Sheehan has been flogging the dead horse that this is all about ideology for quite some time. I thought that he would have drawn back, knowing that, at the Committee, when accused of going along with Michael Gove's agenda, Lucy Crehan and her colleague told him not only that they were both left-leaning but that one…
