To ask the Minister of Finance, pursuant to AQW 22838/22-27, to detail the terms of reference of Professor Holtham’s independent review of Northern Ireland's level of need.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for an update on his engagement with the UK Government on a sanitary and phytosanitary Veterinary Agreement with the European Union.
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether she will update the statutory remit of the Utility Regulator to include (i) decarbonisation; and (ii) climate change targets in its duties.
Minister, it is welcome that the study will inform your negotiating position with the UK Government, but will it also inform your Department's position? Will we see any tangible actions from your Department to support businesses with the cost of doing business?
Thank you, Deputy Speaker. The motion provides an opportunity for the Assembly to take a stand against the disgraceful suggestion from the UK and Irish Governments that an interlocutor be appointed to scope out and lay the groundwork for a formal process of engagement with active paramilitary organisations.…
I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with his remarks so far. When his party's Ministers met the Loyalist Communities Council (LCC), which purports to represent active paramilitary organisations, did they ask the LCC to hand over any details of those who were involved to the PSNI?
I support the regional rates order, and I will support the related orders that are before the Assembly today. There will, no doubt, be Members who will, in the course of the debate, oppose any uplift to the regional rate. I encourage any Member who takes that stance to articulate how they would fund their proposed…

I thank the First Minister for that answer. First Minister, will you and the deputy First Minister commit to make representations to the Secretary of State so that it is not done in the name of us in the Assembly Chamber?
Like other Members, I welcome the Programme for Government as a step forward. For the first time since 2011, the Executive have agreed a Programme for Government that sets out the vision, priorities and direction for the remainder of the mandate. Of course, it goes without saying that the document is not an exhaustive…
Mr Tennyson asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they agree, given their responsibilities for good relations and tackling violence against women and girls, that the Secretary of State's announcement last week of his intention to appoint an interlocutor, effectively, to negotiate with active…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the ownership of the historic Chapel Lock on the Lagan Navigational Canal to the north of Aghagallon.
I thank the Minister for that update, though I suspect that, given the end of his answer, he will not answer this next question: what is the rationale for excluding locum and sessional GPs from the proposed indemnity scheme? Is it not the case that, by excluding those GPs, those costs will be passed on to practices…
