  1. Debate contribution: Social Security Reform and Economic Inactivity

    • Private Members' Business

    I appreciate the Member's giving way. As I indicated, I am minded to support his party's amendment because, importantly, it talks about a mitigation package, which is crucial. Will he explain why his party's amendment removed the call for tax increases for the superwealthy? That is a bugbear for me and others.

  2. Debate contribution: Social Security Reform and Economic Inactivity

    • Private Members' Business

    I welcome the motion and what appears to be a new policy direction for the Alliance Party towards the redistribution of wealth. It is something that I genuinely support. Wealth taxes are often brushed off and even laughed at by some in this Building, so it is a welcome change in policy. Tens of thousands of people in…

  3. Debate contribution: Automated Cleaning Services: Parliament Buildings

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for the answer. The Member will know that concerns have been raised about general job losses with this form of cleaning. What guarantees have been sought by the Commission to ensure that Aramark does not cut jobs? Cleaners in the Building have lost hours. If further hours are cut in the future, will…

  4. Debate contribution: Andrew Jackson

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I remind the Minister that it was slave revolts that ended slavery in the primary sense. Former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who toured this island and whose statute is in Belfast, stated: "The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours,…

  5. Debate contribution: Benefit System Changes

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, hundreds of thousands of people will expect you not to do Labour's bidding by implementing the cuts. I hope that you will say today that you will not. Given the fact that there are no rent caps in the private rented sector, hundreds of millions of pounds from the welfare budget is going on private rented…

  6. Debate contribution: Grand Central Station: Bilingual Signage

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    It is more of a linguistic demand than a political agenda. I remind the Minister that within a short distance of the site there are three Gaelscoileanna and the Gaeltacht Quarter. Does the Minister agree that it is insulting to say to Irish speakers, "It's OK to speak Irish at home or in an Irish language school, but…

  7. Member's statement: Labour Government: Welfare Cuts

    • Members' Statements

    It is fair to say that I and many others did not expect much from the Labour Government. The bar was set so low because of how awful the previous Conservative Administrations were. However, I and many others did not believe that things would be this appallingly bad so quickly. It is not even a year into this…

  8. Topical question AQT 1196/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Carroll asked the Minister for Communities, having said that it is important to acknowledge historical events aimed at the ending of empire, of which the Declaration of Independence is part, whether he agrees that a full accounting of history is essential, given that history shows that Andrew Jackson, whom he…
