To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of (i) people who are deaf; and (ii) people with a disability that will be impacted by the cuts in Personal Independence Payment.
I thank the Member for giving way. How does he respond to the fact that, in the call for evidence, 69% of respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed that the board should have regard to salaries paid to Members in other jurisdictions? If the Member was so keen to hear my views, and I thank him for that, I refer him…
The Member is being kind in giving way. He talks about limiting the pool. I remind him that there are over 250,000 trade unionists in the North, so that is a lot of people for the Committee and the panel to choose from.
I thank the Member for giving way again. What is the Member's assessment of the fact that, in the call for evidence, 69% of respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed that the board should have regard to the salaries paid by legislatures in other jurisdictions?
Thank you. If former MLAs can sit on the board, how can the Member justify saying that such a board will be independent? If you stepped down as an MLA tomorrow, you could sit on it and set the pay of your colleagues. How is that independent?
The Ad Hoc Committee makes a recommendation that the board must have regard to the wider financial circumstances of the North. You would presume that those would be the same financial circumstances that mean that pensioners are sitting freezing in their homes during winter, the circumstances that led to 90,000…
Keir Starmer's announcement yesterday was divisive and disgraceful. I suspect that Nigel Farage and Reform UK were delighted with and were rubbing their hands at the use of Enoch Powell-style language, sticking the boot into migrants or people who are seeking asylum. Most of us, and certainly those in my party, knew…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail the number of cases referred to the Public Prosecution Service against (i) members of the Israeli government; (ii) members of the Israeli military; and (iii) individuals involved in supplying arms to Israel, in the last ten years.
To ask the Minister of Finance whether his Department has had any engagement with the UK Government on the merits of insurance companies being moved from private companies to public bodies.

To ask the Minister for the Economy whether she or her officials have met with (i) RLC Engineering Group Ltd; and (ii) Moyola Precision Engineering Ltd in the last two years.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) for a breakdown of the locations of residents' parking schemes; and (ii) whether an assessment has been made of the positive and negative impact of residents' parking schemes.
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Despite what the Minister has tried to say, the inhumane ban on puberty blockers is motivated mainly by right-wing transphobia. Some of the Executive parties, such as the DUP, that extended the ban on gender-affirming care indefinitely are openly hostile towards trans and…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. It is important that the motion has been brought here to be heard today. Obviously, there are omissions in the motion, hence my amendment, but it is important that the House takes a stand against rising transphobia and other forms of hate and division. Despite a crisis in our…
I condemn the threats towards you, deputy First Minister. Violence or threats of violence towards anybody are disgraceful and wrong, whoever the person is. Given that the BMA stated that the Supreme Court ruling is "biologically nonsensical" and "scientifically illiterate", do you think that we should listen to the…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail the number occasions that representatives of the Israeli Prison Services met with representatives of prisons in the last five years.
