Mr Doug Beattie MC: Assembly records
All of Mr Doug Beattie MC’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Mr Beattie asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister when we will see a new or amended ministerial code, given that amendments to the ministerial code to incorporate changes made by the Executive Committee (Functions) Act (Northern Ireland) 2020 were agreed in February 2022, notwithstanding this place being…

In April 2021, the House debated a motion that I proposed on the harmful practices of conversion therapy. It passed with a clear majority. Will the Minister detail what his Department has done since that vote?

I thank the Minister for her answer. I know the hard work that the Department has done on support for operational prison staff. Recommendation 6(c) of the report recommended that a human resources team be set up at Prison Service headquarters to deal with the bespoke matters in the Prison Service individuals' issues,…
Some will view the motion through an ethical lens, and I will not be critical of anybody who does so, but I will view it through an economic and geopolitical lens in order to understand the wider issue. It is a much wider issue because the world is a far more dangerous place. Some will say that conflict is fuelled by…
Junior Doctors’ Pay - Amendment 1 Remove all after ‘health system in Northern Ireland’ and insert: ‘accepts that making junior doctor pay comparisons across the UK is misleading given the variable contracts in place which, in the instance of junior doctors locally, equates to lower basic rates of pay but higher…

I hope to lift the mood a little. This year's Science on Stage Europe Festival will take place in mid-August in Turku, Finland. I will give a shout-out to Mrs Hawthorne, head of science at Banbridge High School, who has been selected to be part of the UK team that will travel to Finland to present its innovative…
We all need a bit of honesty and integrity sometimes. The protocol created the Irish Sea border. It was neither serious nor sensible. It certainly did not brilliantly outmanoeuvre the Brussels trap. The Windsor framework did not get rid of the Irish Sea border. Two years of boycott did not get rid of the Irish Sea…
