  4. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    I thank the Member for giving way. There are many votes in the House where my vote counts for less than his vote and, indeed, those of other Members of the House. You are right: of course we are up in arms. Treating every Member of the House equally is the very definition of democracy.

  7. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Is it in order, when the Chair has ruled on a matter — the Speaker has ruled that a legitimate vote will take place this evening — for a Member to continue to challenge the ruling of the Chair in this way?

  8. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. A number of Members have called this vote some kind of a "fix", and now, the legitimacy of the vote is being referred to. Can you confirm to the House that this vote is entirely legitimate and is in order in how it is about to proceed?

  12. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    I thank the Member for giving way. We all had to engage with Boris Johnson when he was Prime Minister. That was the inevitable consequence of his position. However, we did not all champion him when he was running for prime ministership. We did not all invite him to our party conferences and cosy up to him. Some…

  15. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    After listening to Mr Buckley, you would almost think that the DUP had lost the Brexit referendum. You won, guys. Cheer up. I must be the only person who was bothered before by the phrase "Not available for sale in Northern Ireland" when I was ordering things online. It used to happen regularly before Brexit. It was…

  18. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    No, I fundamentally do not agree, because I do not believe that parallel consent is the only way to achieve cross-community consent. It can be done by weighted majority voting, and, indeed, that is allowed for under the agreement. Furthermore, Alliance has always been clear that we saw that agreement as a foundation…

  24. Debate contribution: Democratic Consent Resolution

    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    I thank the Member for giving way. I am presuming that he has read his party's manifestos from 2016, 2017 and 2022, all of which called for reform of the institutions. In fact, the earlier ones actually called for voluntary coalition. Does the Member now demur from those positions?

  25. Debate contribution: Arbitration Bill: Legislative Consent Motion

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    I beg to move I am grateful for the opportunity to speak about the Arbitration Bill, which is progressing through Parliament. Arbitration is a form of dispute resolution that offers an alternative to court. Parties can agree to appoint a third party or to resolve a dispute between themselves privately and issue an…
