Mr Jon Burrows: Assembly records
All of Mr Jon Burrows’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Does the Member agree that it is anathema to safety in our prisons that, under the current position, which you are trying to reverse, biological males who are fully intact could, despite having been convicted of a sexual crime, be housed in a prison with females?
QualifyingGender, sexuality, abortion and related social issuesCriteria met: Identity framing, Dog-whistle messaging.
At its heart, this is a simple premise. First, I commend Mr Frew for tabling amendment No 96, which we will support: it is a good amendment. Amendment No 97 is a classic example of when we should be dealing with facts. There should be no place for feelings when we are dealing with legislation. We should treat trans…
I just want to clarify something. You said that a trans man would be held in a women's prison and that would increase the risk. That would be a biological woman who could not commit an offence such as rape and would not have the extra strength that men have vis-à-vis women. I am trying to understand it.
Can the Member offer a reassurance that that will continue so that we know the difference and know that only clearly identified pre-stun halal meat will be available?
I have full respect for our diverse communities across the United Kingdom. It is important that, in Northern Ireland, we have only halal meat products from animals that have been stunned. I am grateful for the reassurance from the Member representing the Assembly Commission that that is the case in our Blue Flax…
On behalf of the Ulster Unionist Party, I praise the courage and tenacity of the victims of Jeffrey Donaldson. They showed remarkable courage in giving the evidence that they did and in taking the case to court. While we are all equal under the law — that is an important lesson — they knew full well that they were not…

To ask the Minister of Health to detail any support that is available to families whose children are diagnosed with metachromatic leukodystrophy, including access to specialist services, therapies and palliative care.
To ask the Minister of Health whether he will meet with families affected by metachromatic leukodystrophy, together with representatives from the MPS Society and relevant clinical experts, to discuss the case for newborn screening.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any steps his Department is taking to ensure that children who may be eligible for treatment for metachromatic leukodystrophy are identified and referred as early as possible.
The legal aid system should, of course, be fair to claimants and to practitioners, but most crucially, it should be fair to taxpayers, who pay for legal aid. They work day and night, often in less attractive jobs, to put their pound into the taxation that pays for legal aid. There is a feeling, as well as facts, that…
Does the Minister agree that the issue of workload is connected in part to teachers having to deal with a small number of disruptive pupils who cause a disproportionate amount of disruption, creating a lot more work for teachers, and that it is vital that there is the capability to swiftly and firmly deal with the…
That is a rather short and vague answer to a specific question. Thirty-three months ago, the last Police Ombudsman came under criminal investigation for perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office. Can you answer this question with a yes or no: did your Department initiate a review of Ms…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any steps in place to ensure foreign nationals in the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland are tracked, so that if they are convicted to over 12 months, the Home Office is made aware and an automatic deportation order is made.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the current position regarding the inclusion of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy in the newborn screening programme, in Northern Ireland.

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of occasions, in the last five years, when a vehicle used for a practical driving test was subsequently found not to have valid insurance cover.
