Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I agree with the Member. If the DUP goes ahead and votes against there being scrutiny at Committee Stage, an opportunity will be lost. I truly believe that the Committee Stage would provide an opportunity for further scrutiny and refinement. I am content to support the Bill at…
I thank the Member for that contribution.

When we cut through…

Before I start my contribution, I say to Members: I apologise in advance if you call for an intervention and I do not hear you. My hearing has got a lot worse, and I have difficulty picking up Members speaking, especially…

I thank the Minister very much for that. If he has any idea of the date on which the consultation will open, it would be very helpful if he would share that with us. As we know, the second religion question is not mandatory. It would be good to hear the public's rationale for its removal.

When did the Minister last attempt to bring the paper to the Executive?
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker.

Some of the allegations and concerns that have been raised point to a…
