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.
To ask the Minister of Education (i) whether any assessment has been made of the impact of the age eligibility criteria for the Northern Ireland Childcare Subsidy Scheme on families whose children turn 11 in July or August before entering Primary 7; and (ii) whether any consideration will be given to extending…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail which organisation currently has responsibility for (i) ownership; (ii) maintenance; (iii) security; (iv) insurance; and (v) management, of the former Northern Regional College site at Trostan Avenue, Ballymena.
It comes as no surprise that the party that still eulogises terrorists cannot support our veterans. Does the Minister agree that our veterans suffer issues of homelessness and that there are particular issues in Northern Ireland in that they do not feel safe living in certain areas? How does the Minister propose to…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any engagement her Department has had with (i) electricity suppliers; and (ii) the Utility Regulator, regarding the availability and affordability of time-of-use and electric vehicle-specific electricity tariffs in Northern Ireland.
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether her Department has undertaken any assessment of the competitiveness of electric vehicle charging tariffs in Northern Ireland, compared to other regions of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any (i) regulatory; (ii) market; and (iii) policy barriers, that may prevent electricity suppliers in Northern Ireland from offering overnight electric vehicle charging tariffs, at rates comparable to those available in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether full GP medical records, or patient encounter forms, are required to be attached to Personal Independence Payment applications.
The Irish language is a wonderful language, and I respect the right of anyone to speak it. The Irish-medium sector is valued. I have said on the record that I do not think that the Bill is necessary. There are many laws that we should pass in this place, with finite time to pass them, to deal with really important…
Mr Deputy Speaker, I will be brief. I ask that you give me some latitude on the overall principle of the Bill. I do not think that there is anyone in the House who believes that any child should go hungry in this country. As a food bank volunteer myself, I have given food bank parcels to children, and it was a…
I thank the Minister for that update. It is encouraging, and he was appropriately measured in his response. The reduction is indeed encouraging, and it shows what clear focus and targeted additional investment can deliver. Does the Minister agree that, putting the theatrics and distractions of this place aside, that…
There is a question. Why was it, when you got the judgement on Friday, as I did, that you waited until after we put out a press release to clarify the details for the public. That is not transparent. Why did you not update the public on what was happening until Saturday afternoon?
It is tone deaf of the Justice Minister to choose this day to start talking about the rights and dignity of prisoners. We have a dangerous prisoner on the run. The public are frightened, and the victim's family have been re-traumatised. The duty of the justice system is to protect the public, but, on the Minister's…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I am concerned about the comments from Ms Ferguson of Sinn Féin. She seemed to indicate that people should not be held to account for breaking the law in relation to un-notified processions, based on whether she thinks that that procession is…
The fundamental purpose of the justice system is public protection. Our justice system has fundamentally failed to discharge that solemn duty in the case of Gary Anderson, a dangerous convicted murderer, who is on the run. My thoughts today are with the family of Karol Kelly, brutally murdered. Not only have they been…
Mr Burrows asked the Minister of Health to provide an update on what progress has been made as a result of additional investment in reducing hospital waiting lists.
Compassionate Temporary Release To ask the Minister of Justice, in light of the findings in Anderson (Gary) and (Sean) Application for Judicial Review [2026] NIKB 54, to explain the apparent conflict between the judgment and her statement to the Assembly on 15 September that the Prison Service had ‘strongly resisted’…
To ask the Minister of Education, where alternative taxi provision has been commissioned to transport pupils to and from school, to detail (i) the training provided to drivers with no previous experience of transporting pupils with special educational needs; and (ii) the information and guidance provided to drivers on…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail (i) when Northern Regional College first engaged Land and Property Services in relation to the disposal of its former Trostan Avenue site in Ballymena; including (ii) the current stage of that process; and (iii) whether any valuation of the site has been completed.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the number of incidents involving (i) fire; (ii) vandalism; (iii) unauthorised access; and (iv) other security breaches, recorded at the former Northern Regional College site at Trostan Avenue, Ballymena, since the site ceased operating as a college campus.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any expenditure incurred on the former Northern Regional College site at Trostan Avenue, Ballymena, since it became vacant, broken down by (i) security; (ii) maintenance; (iii) repairs; (iv) utilities; and (v) other costs.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail (i) the current status of the former Northern Regional College site at Trostan Avenue, Ballymena; (ii) any plans for the future use or disposal of the site; and (iii) any anticipated timeline for a decision on its future.
To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of Public Health Agency initiatives involving children brushing their teeth in school, including the impact on (i) classroom time; (ii) teacher and school staff workload, particularly where brushing takes place at the beginning of the school day; and…
