Mr Jonathan Buckley: Assembly records
All of Mr Jonathan Buckley’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I am happy to correct the record in that regard, and it is good to see a time when Ms Long was able to designate as a unionist. I doubt that she would be able to do so today.
FlaggedDecided on a second assessment.Constitutional question, Brexit, the Windsor Framework and sovereigntyCriteria met: Identity framing, Controversy escalation.
I thank the Member for giving way. The Member has listened to a bit of a Pontius Pilate approach from Alliance in, "Not my problem, I don't designate". Does the Member agree that there was a time when the Alliance Party did designate as nationalists, gaming the system and working the arrangements set out in the…
I thank the Member for giving way and for her passionate articulation of facts. Does the Member agree that, whilst there is sneering from some Benches about mutual enforcement, the genesis of the suggestion came from the EU itself?
I know that he knows the inside of 10 Downing Street a lot better than most of us, given the fact that he worked there for a Tory Prime Minister. If the Member has always had the best interests of Northern Ireland in mind, does he regret passing a motion that called for the rigorous implementation of the original…
What is today's debate all about? Is it a genuine attempt to give Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly a democratic say in the laws that govern them? Or is it merely parliamentary parlour games, giving lip service to the basic tenets of democratic concepts? Members, be under no illusion: today's debate, today's…

To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the amount of Invest NI funding awarded in the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area in each of the last five years.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of pensioner households that are expected to receive the £100 fuel payment in the Upper Bann constituency.
I thank the Minister for his statement and, in particular, the emphasis on and investment in PE. We know that, with the rise of unhealthy lifestyles, PE is essential to children's lives. My question builds on the Member for North Antrim's question about kids with disabilities. Kids in special schools and their…
Labour's disastrous Budget had a severe impact not just on farmers but on business owners, and the increase in employer National Insurance contributions has left many of them feeling that they are being taxed to the point of death. Growth rates have slowed down as a result of the Budget, and there have been record…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for his assessment of road gritting on school bus routes, following recent incidents involving school transport.
I thank the Member for giving way. That was a big point of discussion in the Committee. Does the Member envisage there being a point in the future, if the provision for substitute members does not work, when proxy voting could be explored further by the Committee?
I thank the Member for giving way. Whilst she is talking about the review, one of the issues that come to my mind is the provision for the Chair, in the event that the Chair and Deputy Chair are not present, to be the oldest serving Member. Would it not make more sense for it to be the longest-serving Member of that…
The Chancellor says that Labour's tax raid on family farms will bring in £520 million a year. We are told that that is needed to overturn some of the deep, dark holes in our public finances, yet, not even a month later, the same Labour Government have committed £536 million to be spent overseas on 10 programmes to…
