Mr Mike Nesbitt: Assembly records
All of Mr Mike Nesbitt’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Minister for his fulsome response. The Ards group would like to see a refresh of coastal policy, which is known as the "Bateman formula" after a civil servant of that name who issued a memo in 1967.
I thank the Member for giving way. She mentioned clinical decisions in health and social care. If a 16-year-old were to say that they did not want to be placed on an adult ward, would the legislation place a duty on the trust to open a new ward for that one patient?
Mr Nesbitt asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, after declaring an interest as a member of the Ards peninsula coastal erosion group, for an update on the work of the coastal forum that he jointly chairs with the Minister for Infrastructure.
I am happy to report that the Ulster Unionist Party supports the motion. Mr Dickson gave us some of the shocking and unprecedented statistics on race hate incidents and race hate crimes. In June 2026 alone, there were 512 race hate incidents. That is quite shocking. It is therefore right that, during Black History…
I note that the motion carries a desire to build political consensus. In that regard, every Member of the House should be aware of these words: "The tragedies of the past have left a deep and profoundly regrettable legacy of suffering. We must never forget those who have died or been injured, and their families. But…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail the number of external meetings he has attended as Minister, where the main agenda was (i) agriculture; (ii) the environment; and (iii) rural affairs.
Does the Minister agree that those same social determinants are the cause of economic inactivity and health inequality and that those three areas could therefore form the kernel of the next Programme for Government?
Mr Nesbitt asked the Minister of Education whether he is satisfied that enough is being done to tackle the social determinants of academic achievement.
Our third-level institutions have an admirable focus on finding the next Allen McClay or Frank Pantridge. Does the Minister detect the same enthusiasm to unearth the next Liam Neeson or Seamus Heaney?
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any discussions she had with representatives of the six further education colleges, regarding cuts to enrolment numbers, specifically whether her Department identified subject areas to be protected, such as apprenticeships and other courses that would prepare students for…
I simply want to put on record that my party supports the motion. As a Member for Strangford, I look forward to the Bill's implications for regional balance, particularly on the Ards peninsula.
Will the First Minister join me in congratulating and thanking all the volunteers who made the fleadh a success, particularly those from St John Ambulance, which kept well over 100 people out of hospital with its field hospital at Ulster University, its presence beside City Hall and its mobile units?
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any policy to safeguard primary school children visiting external organisations and settings where safeguarding issues have previously arisen involving children from another primary school.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, given the level of serious traffic accidents, the growth of housing adjoining Teal Rocks and the need for pedestrians to access the bus stop safely, to detail whether her Department will consider a new review of lowering the national speed limit on the Portaferry Road at the…
I first became aware of the broad plan for the fleadh many months ago. I was still in my second term as party leader, and members of Ards Comhaltas came up to brief me along with John Walsh, chief exec of Belfast City Council. It was a really interesting briefing. I had two takeaways, and both were about a measure of…
The Minister is aware of the economic benefit of clustering. Clustering and regional balance are not mutually exclusive. How does the Minister see them gelling together to best effect?
Minister, has there been an assessment of the impact of the job losses on the number of courses being offered at third level? What is the potential consequential impact on the economy of fewer courses?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any planning that is underway to assist the next Executive agree a Programme for Government for the next Assembly mandate.
With the untimely passing of Stephen Walker, local journalism has lost a role model. With Stephen's untimely passing, society has lost a role model . For over three decades at the BBC, Stephen was a class act, demonstrating all the characteristics of an effective journalist. He was curious, courteous and bloody…
