I thank the SDLP for tabling the motion, which is absolutely worth our time. The pandemic had the effect of focusing policymakers' minds on childcare. Its function as vital economic infrastructure rather than just a domestic issue for mummies and grannies to deal with suddenly became understood. Rapid interventions…
Thank you for the answer, Minister. I know that you have dealt with Ladies with Letters, and I am sure that they appreciate that update. Will you establish a statutory inquiry into the matter so that the ladies get the accountability and transparency that they deserve?

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. As others have done, I thank UUP colleagues for tabling the motion. It has given us an opportunity, so close to Christmas, to talk about an important issue. My colleague explained why we had tabled our amendment and why we will not support the DUP amendment. I echo the Minister's words…
I have met many stakeholders in the childcare and early years sectors, and the consensus seems to be that the Department has everything that it needs to produce a childcare strategy. What specifically is holding up the publication of an early learning and childcare strategy?
Thank you, deputy First Minister. You and I share the constituency of Lagan Valley, where the Maze/Long Kesh site is, and we understand its strategic importance for the area. With the access and influence that being deputy First Minister provides, what are you doing to deliver the potential of the site? It seems as…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. This is a really challenging motion because it asks us to endorse scrapping a £20 million programme that has the objective of reducing educational disadvantage. That is a massive ask, and it is one that, we feel, goes too far. The purpose of our amendment is to agree with concerns that…
