Yes, there is. Minister, there was an independent evaluation by King's College London. What did it find that allowed you to move to the consultation on proposals for mobile-free schools?
I am interested in the harm that is caused to our children and young people via the likes of social media on mobile phones. That causes severe mental health and well-being issues. I have heard that from parents and schools in my constituency. I have engaged with a local group of the Smartphone Free Childhood movement.

Minister, just before summer recess, I raised with you in the Chamber — this speaks to road maintenance — the issue of road inspectors who will carry out the work to make sure that the road maintenance strategy is being implemented and put in place in the way that it was intended. As your colleague Emma did, I place…
Minister and Mr Deputy Speaker, I hope that you will give me some latitude when speaking on the issue because, albeit that I am a Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA, I represent an area that Mid Ulster District Council falls into, and Dungannon and places such as that would be seen as mid-Ulster.

I thank the Minister for what he is doing. In my constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, applications opened for the first affordable rent homes last month. It is typical of Sinn Féin.
