Minister, you acknowledge that there will be a £100 million "credit" — that was the term that you used — in the 2026-27 financial year: the amount of repayment will be significantly lower than the amount that is additional from the spring statement. Given that difference and given that that is additional money to the…

First Minister, you have not answered my question. I did not ask simply about making the case. I respect that, and I agree with you that the UK Government need to provide the financial firepower. It is a global oil crisis: I am not being unreasonable about that. However, the bare minimum that the public should be able…

First Minister, the Opposition agrees. We want to see the maximum possible funding being made available to the Executive, and we will always speak up for that. The spring statement allocated an extra £220 million for the Executive to spend in 2026-27. In that financial year, the repayment of the previous reserve claim…

Mr O'Toole asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, after noting that it was good that the First Minister was in the Chamber along with his party and others who were not celebrating Donald Trump as he destabilises the world and drives up energy costs for households, and that, on that subject, which has…

Not to be too much of a know-it-all, "quango" is an acronym that stands for quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation. The EPA would not be quasi-autonomous; it would be independent. That is the point.

Hopefully — I am sure others hope so, too — I will not use all my 10 minutes, but I will not make that promise, because I might break it. I hope that our amendment adds to tonight's motion, because we entirely agree with most of the motion. It is one of the most urgent and unavoidable — some people in the Chamber want…

It is sometimes difficult to know whether to laugh or cry in the Chamber, to be honest. I am often accused of being cynical or negative, but it is the job of an official Opposition sometimes to say things that are pretty obvious — not "emperor has no clothes" stuff but stuff that is blindingly obvious. When the…

I appreciate the Member's giving way. I agree wholeheartedly with his point about reform. Many of us think that there is too much cynicism about this place in London at a political and an official level. Does he agree that people's cynicism is only reinforced when they see political dysfunction and failure to take…

Thank you for drawing me back to the current debate, because the point that I am making is that the Finance Minister shifted blame to everybody else when it comes to supporting small businesses, all businesses and all workers through the rates system rather than take responsibility. Today, he is simply continuing a…

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker.
