  1. Debate contribution: Home Heating Costs

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    We have not yet had those conversations, but we will engage with a number of stakeholders. That is a valid concern that many people will have. If we are to provide direct support to people, however, it needs to be done in the right way. We will look to have a list of suppliers, therefore, so that people can get…

    I remain firmly committed to providing practical assistance to those most at risk of fuel poverty.

To support the…

  11. Debate contribution: Net Zero Policies: Cost-benefit Analysis

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    I appreciate the Minister giving way. He has talked about the cost-benefit analysis. Will he give us his view on the independent Climate Change Committee's letter to his most recent predecessor as Agriculture Minister, which stated that a 50% fall in meat and dairy production in Northern Ireland is not enough to get…

  12. Debate contribution: Net Zero Policies: Cost-benefit Analysis

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    I am not speaking as Minister, but I am grateful to the Member for giving way. He talks about a cost-benefit analysis. In the House, we were presented with information from the independent Climate Change Commission that stated that the difference in cost for us between a 82% reduction target and a 100% reduction…

  13. Debate contribution: Net Zero Policies: Cost-benefit Analysis

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    Will the Member also note that there is already a UK-wide commissioner? We would therefore be duplicating that work, which is something that the House was aware of when it foolishly voted for a commissioner for here.

    I beg to move Article 5(1) of the Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 requires the Local Government Auditor to prepare and keep under review a code of audit practice that prescribes the way in which local government auditors carry out their functions in relation to district councils and other local…

    Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I thank everybody who contributed to today's debate. The Bill has been developed in consultation and partnership with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) community and strengthened, I believe, through constructive engagement with the Committee. It is fair to say that I have had…

    Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I am absolutely delighted to be in the position to introduce and progress the Bill.

  17. Debate contribution: Sign Language Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    I thank the Member for giving way. She is right to highlight the fact that increasing numbers of people are losing their hearing. However, our research and consultation indicate that those people are not coming forward in the same numbers looking for those classes. We do not know the demand for that yet. That is why I…

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    I beg to move amendment No 1: The amendments that I have tabled to clause 2 do not alter the intention of the Bill; rather, they refine and strengthen it. Clause 2 places a statutory duty on my Department to actively promote British Sign Language (BSL), Irish Sign Language (ISL) and deaf culture across Northern…
