  9. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Further to that point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker, I believe that you have just ruled that I am not allowed to ask another Member their opinion of a Bill.

  12. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you, Chair. In a respectful way, I asked about a provision in the Bill, and it is clause 6. I referenced the fact that gender identity is referred to in the Bill. I believe fundamentally that there is an attempt to stop me talking about something in the Bill. The Speaker's Chair did not even give the Member the…

  14. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way, and I regret the tone in which the debate has now kicked off. I want to make a sincere point: the Bill references "gender identity" — there is no getting away from that fact; it is in this blue Bill — and it is noted that this is the first time that Northern Ireland would legislate…

  15. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I just want clarity. Obviously, there has been an attempt from the Alliance Party to close down a legitimate debate on a private Member's Bill. Can I seek guidance from the Speaker? It is important that the House hears from the Minister responsible, as the Bill mandates her Department…

  16. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    When I first made a contribution on the Bill as the Committee Chair, I made reference to the fact that Birmingham City Council had spent £2·6 million of public money to remove Union flags and English flags. I said it then, and I repeat it now: Belfast is no Birmingham. We have a proliferation of flags for different…

  17. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Mr Speaker, I will be clear and loud in the Chamber so that Members can hear me. I will also be very careful with my words and language. Does the Member agree that the figure of £26,000 is for the birds?

  18. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Will the Member take a moment to reflect on the words that have been said? It is quite an intolerant and illiberal position for the Alliance Party to suggest that, apparently, its voters are of the disposition to remove all flags, but the Member has come with legislation that she believes tries to strike a balance. I…

  20. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Some Members may roll their eyes at the commentary about Linfield Football Club, but it is a very serious issue. The club's fans took considerable exception to the club's being drawn into the political field by the Bill sponsor on what is already a contentious issue, given that, as…

  21. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    The Member is absolutely right. That is primarily where action should occur in legitimate confrontations about flag-flying and cultural respect. Does the Member agree that, where there clearly are threats, intimidation or paramilitary or illegal activity, that is for the existing statutes to deal with? We have…

  23. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. She referenced a very interesting point that has been a continual theme on these Benches: the real risk of generating rather than solving community tension. Does the Member agree that not only is that an important point of consideration — indeed, elected representatives should engage…

  24. Member's statement: Fuel Prices

    • Members' Statements

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. During Mr Carroll's contribution, you ruled that it was not proper for him to have props in the Chamber, and that is right according to the Members' code of conduct. However, is it in order for the Member, after making his point — we are all concerned about Lough Neagh, particularly…

  25. Member's statement: Prisons: Release of Gary Anderson

    • Members' Statements

    The debacle surrounding the compassionate, or not so compassionate, release of murderer Gary Anderson has left a deep stain on our justice system, which has been compounded by the fact that the individual is now at large and on the run. We can only begin to think how the Kelly family feel as they live day and daily…
