I thank the Member for giving way. The issue is not about depriving people of a safe place but about looking at why, for example, when Professor Ray Jones did his review of children's services, he said that the Youth Justice Agency was doing an excellent job but highlighted the flaws in secure care facilities in…

I thank the Member for giving way. Will she agree that there will always be exceptional cases, where it will be necessary to hold the person in a secure facility to protect the public, even if they are under the current minimum age of criminal responsibility? That is why we have more than one kind of secure facility;…

A fallacy seems to have grown up that, because something is not a criminal offence, the police will have no role in it. That is not the case. The police can still have a role. For example, if a nine-year-old or an eight-year-old commits what would otherwise be a criminal offence, the police have the right to detain…

The Member has raised an important point. It is important to recognise that, yes, the Youth Justice Agency does a lot of good work. However, if you talk to those who deal with vulnerable young people, most agree that the stigma of being in the criminal justice system can lead a child to become more and more involved…

I appreciate the Member's giving way again. On that issue, one of the challenges that we and the PSNI face is that a child of 11, 12 or 13 may not see themselves as being a victim of grooming, but they may, in fact, be a victim of grooming. That is one of the reasons that, when we look at issues such as modern slavery…

What the Member said about the Youth Justice Agency is interesting, and I agree with her. It is one of the best services available to deal with troubled young people. The work that it does is transformational not just in young people's lives but in those of their families and communities. Does the Member agree that…

I thank the Member for giving way and being generous with her time. I have experience of speaking to victims who were subjected to burglary in their home, for example. Some frail and elderly individuals have found that the restorative route was much more important for them, because they had almost mystified the…

Does the Member agree that, crucially, as part of the response for those who offend under the current minimum age of criminal responsibility, referrals by the PSNI and others of the victim to the appropriate services, such as Victim Support, still take place? It is not that somebody is being denied the services that…

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. You will be aware that, in 2009, the then Speaker made a ruling on appropriate conduct in the House. He said that the context of comments that were made in the House and the manner in which they were spoken would out rule, if you like, the issue of parliamentary language.…

After what feels like a bit of a filibuster over the last hour, I will be as brief as possible while giving Members my assurances on some of the issues that have been raised. I am grateful to the Members for tabling these important amendments, and, while I support any measures that would make our roads safer, the…

I thank the Member for giving way. One of the challenges that I will refer to in my speech is that, unlike with alcohol, we do not have statutory limits for drugs in a person's system, and that can make it hard for the police to enforce because they have to observe incapacity to know that a person has been taking…

I thank the Member for giving way. He is, as always, very generous with his time. The Member mentioned a young man who was injured by an e-scooter. Many parents buy the e-scooters, and their children use them without helmets and are moving at quite a speed. Does the Member agree that people need to consider the risks…

I thank the Member for giving way. I also thank his colleagues whom I met along with the family of Jaidyn Rice. You will be aware that, in addition to these amendments, there is provision in the sentencing Bill to increase the sentence available for those who, through intoxication from drink or drugs, cause death or…

I did not see the point in my getting up and saying again what I have now said multiple times during this debate, when the Member was not present to hear it. First, today's debate has been useful in providing clarity to those who have engaged in it around the intent of these amendments and how the provisions will be…

I am happy to do so. As you know, at one stage, there were recommendations that police misconduct hearings would be held in public. That is not something that I believe that we are ready for in Northern Ireland. The recommendations related to senior officers, but I still believe that it is a step too far, given the…

I appreciate the Member's giving way. He has been generous in that respect. First, forfeiture powers are being used. I have to sign them off and have been doing so increasingly over the past months. I believe that that power should be used. The other thing to say is that we are trying to replicate what happens in…

I thank the Member for giving way. To be clear, this does not allow the ombudsman to take a case against a former officer. It allows the ombudsman, where they have investigated an officer, to provide an early report to the appropriate authority. It does not extend the ombudsman's powers.

I thank the Member for giving way. As you were drawing your remarks to a close before the break, I indicated that there were a couple of things that I wanted to put on record. Mr Burrows said that he had to try on a number of occasions to get clarity on the issues before us. I set out those issues in my opening…

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. In relation to last night's horrific incident in north Belfast, I have sought your permission to step out of the ongoing Consideration Stage of the Justice Bill to participate in a media briefing at 4.00 pm. I do not intend any discourtesy to the House or to Members, but these are very…
