The SDLP believes that the current "threatened with homelessness" window of 28 days is simply too narrow, and I do not think that anyone can or would dispute that, although they can oppose attempts to widen it, particularly when we consider that, under the Private Tenancies Act 2022, as we…
I meant the brilliant collective brains of the Assembly, because there is certainly no brain on the Committee as brilliant as yours, Mr Brett. The Bill deserves thorough scrutiny.

Minister, while the family of Karol Kelly welcome the steps that you have outlined today and your willingness to meet them, it is hard to convey the impact that this situation is having on them. It must also be said, Minister, that the family's…
I thank the Minister for his statement. Parents have heard repeated commitments with regard to childcare but continue to fight high costs and limited availability. Will the Minister tell the House what specific and measurable improvements families will see in affordability of and access to childcare over the next 12…

To ask the Minister for the Economy whether she will commission a review of the Industrial Tribunals and Fair Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020, to consider introducing an exceptional jurisdiction, permitting proceedings to be reopened or reinstated where…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the value and proportion of community and voluntary sector funding provided that was (a) recurrent; (b) non-recurrent; (c) grant-funded; and (d) contract-funded; and (ii) the number of community and voluntary sector organisations that received funding from more than one of…
To ask the Minister of Health whether any analysis has been undertaken to identify any inequalities in community and voluntary sector provision commissioned by (i) the Public Health Agency; (ii) the Strategic Planning and Performance Group; and (iii) Health and Social Care Trusts, including any areas in which…
