  4. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you for the intervention. As I said at the start, we can disagree agreeably. Some will definitely want the minimum age of criminal responsibility to be 14. Some will want the age to stay at 10. I think that 10 is too young, so I proposed that it be 12. I will not be the person who stands here and says that my…

  5. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    You did, in fairness: that is exactly what you said. However, I also distinctly remember you saying — I am happy to check Hansard on this — that something that comes out of the Speaker's Office, having been agreed as an amendment to be debated in the Chamber, should not be viewed as not being competent. I will check…

    • Executive Committee Business

    Just a minute. Minister, I guess that I disagree with you, because I too did my work. I accept that I do not have the resources that you and your Department have, but I sat with the Public Prosecution Service and talked through this very thing, and it said that it was workable. I sat with the PSNI and talked through…

  7. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister. I am glad that she did not go down the road of saying that the amendment was not competent, having yesterday talked about never saying that what comes out of the Speaker's Office would be viewed as not competent or, indeed, that the drafters would do something that is not competent.

  8. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    In fairness, Minister, what I am saying is that this is what I think. I think that, after all the screaming and shouting, few Members will change their minds and say, "Actually, 14's a bad idea; we're going to stick with 10". That is the point that I was trying to make, probably clumsily — I apologise. I wish that we…

  9. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Just one minute, if I may, Minister. Ten is too young. I have believed that for a long time, not just since the debate started. When I became an MLA, I thought that 10 was too young. I do not have a degree; I do not have a thesis. I am standing in this corner of the Chamber partly because of my principles on the…

  10. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    It has been great. The amendments in group 6 are on complex, nuanced issues. I have seen really good knowledge and understanding of the matter across the Chamber, along with lived experience. Members had other jobs prior to coming here, and they have brought their experience with them. That is why it is such a robust…
