Minister, thank you for giving us this update today. I echo what others have said about the importance of trade unions. Trade unions are always important to the successful operation of, in particular, a manufacturing business, but that was especially so in this case; they really kept Harland and Wolff going in the…
Minister, I appreciate the answer, and I am glad that you are taking action in the area, albeit you did not quite touch on the contradiction between the two policies. I will ask a related question on the Programme for Government. You talked earlier about the importance of tackling educational underachievement, and you…
Earlier this year, £150 million in capital spending was withdrawn from the integrated schools to which it had been promised under the Fresh Start Agreement.

Cross-departmental Co-operation on Children’s Mental Health That this Assembly recognises that the challenges of mental health are not confined to a single department, but impact all aspects of government policy; regrets that a lack of cross-departmental co-operation, exacerbated by long periods without an Executive,…
Reinstatement of Community and Voluntary Funding That this Assembly commends the work of the community and voluntary sector, who provide vital mental health services for the most vulnerable in society; recognises the immense challenges that will be faced by the health service as a result of a 50 per cent cut to their…
