Mr Gary Middleton: Assembly records
All of Mr Gary Middleton’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.

Today's party political point-scoring has been no different from the SDLP posters that have appeared along the route. People see through that type of political posturing. People want to see progress and solutions.…
The First Minister has not answered the question. I asked whether that applies to all councils in Northern Ireland. First Minister, do you not see the hypocrisy of your commentary commemorating the victim makers while being unwilling to allow citizens in my community to engage with the armed forces in their council…
I thank the First Minister for her response, and I welcome the progress being made at Ebrington. First Minister, where are discussions at with the council about the potential transfer of the Ebrington site to the council? What assurances has your office received that the site will remain a shared space? I have some…

Minister, what confidence can you give to people who applied to the scheme and operated in good faith that, when the consultation is complete, their views will be very much listened to?
Mr Middleton asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, especially the First Minister, whether she wants the armed forces to "butt out" of all jobs fairs in Northern Ireland or just those that are in areas that are under nationalist control, given that, when taking up office, she said that she would be a…

I thank the Minister for his statement and for the capital investment that he has already made, not least in Ardnashee School and College in my constituency. I welcome his call for the Executive-led SEN capital investment programme, but he has also outlined a number of challenges to ensuring capacity and specialist…
Last week, I raised in the Chamber the disgraceful decision taken by councillors in Londonderry and Strabane council. They decided that the army and the armed forces were not welcome at the Foyle Arena for a jobs fair at the council premises. That, of course, was blatant discrimination and bigotry: a shameful act…

Thank you for your statement, Minister. It will come as no surprise that I am deeply disappointed that Institute Football Club has not progressed at this stage. Having worked with the club for the past 10 years, I see its passion, dedication and clear need. Minister, you visited the site in 2017 and saw at first hand…
