Debate contribution: Disposable Nappies: Collection and Recycling Scheme
It is collective, not specific. As a former Belfast City councillor, does the Member agree that there is also an issue with people not getting their bins collected regularly enough? There is also a lack of small waste bins in and around Belfast in particular and an issue with people having a lot of disposable nappies…

Debate contribution: Disposable Nappies: Collection and Recycling Scheme
As has been said, three billion nappies are thrown away every year just in the UK, accounting for around 3% of household waste. They are sent to landfill sites for 500 years, although I should declare an interest as somebody who has probably contributed a few thousand of those nappies in the past couple of years by…

Debate contribution: Emergency Food Parcels for Children
I thank the Minister for giving way. I appreciate that he is finalising the strategy. Does he have any indication or even an estimate, at this stage, about what sort of money will be attached to the anti-poverty strategy?

Debate contribution: Emergency Food Parcels for Children
I thought that it was an intervention. No problem. Poverty is not just the unfair and cruel end result of capitalism but a public health emergency that hits children hardest. Locally, the rate of children growing up in relative poverty grew from 18% in 2021 to 24% in 2023, so it is clearly going in the wrong…

Debate contribution: Emergency Food Parcels for Children
The highest rate of child poverty in the North is in my constituency of West Belfast, where, disgracefully, almost one in three children is living in poverty. Child poverty exists because poverty exists, and poverty exists because capitalism exists. Capitalism will never provide the jobs or resources that all of us…

Debate contribution: Damp and Mould: Hospitalisation
I thank the Minister for that. I will write to him about that. Does he accept that damp and mould is a public health issue and something that requires urgent action from his Department, including through legislation to deal with landlords and other housing issues that are often not tackled?

Debate contribution: Universal Credit: Healthcare Costs
Leaving aside the obvious fact that nobody should be forced to pay for healthcare, will the Minister confirm why exemptions do not automatically apply when people sign on for universal credit or other benefits? Why do people have to apply annually through the HC1 form? I fear that too many people are falling through…

Debate contribution: Storm Éowyn: Executive Response
I thank the front-line workers and community volunteers for the work that they have done over the past few days. Presumably, First Minister, there was a plan in place to deal with the storm. Will that be released for people to scrutinise? I presume that there is a TEO team that works to respond to extreme weather…
