I thank the Member for giving way. It is clear that there are concerns about everything that you have set out on the second part of clause 3 on sanctions for teachers. However, you have been around this place long enough to know that there is every opportunity in the stages that follow this one to get rid of that…

I thank the Member for giving way. Members have repeatedly made the point that the Bill cannot be amended. It has been said on social media and during the debate. We do not know that yet, because we have not had a Committee Stage. We have no idea whether there is any scope to amend the Bill. If, however, we have a…

I thank the Member for giving way. He referenced the fact that we do not know what the sanction will look like, and that is of profound concern to me. Teachers are coming to me saying that they do not know what it will look like. We are in the strange position of needing another bit of legislation to be passed before…

I thank the Member for giving way. You said that you were bringing your remarks to a close, and I just wanted to draw you back to your opening remarks in which you said that the Bill "in its current form" is not acceptable. I entirely agree. My wife was a teacher for nearly 20 years. She is now not a teacher in the…

I thank the Minister for that intervention. I will reiterate my previous point on that: the industrial relations context that we are in is very fragile. Teachers feel that they are at a tipping point. It is not the time to bring forward legislation with those sorts of potential punitive impacts. It is the time,…

I thank the Member for his intervention. I used the word "hope" because I am not here as a spokesperson for any of the trade unions, so I cannot speak for them. I know that the teachers whom I have spoken to feel that the clause would be so profoundly damaging to their relationship with the Department that, it seems…

I sincerely hope that inspection is not a feature of any future action short of strike, because we are in a positive and a better space with the ETI regime. However, we have to be realistic about legislation. Timing is everything, and, if you introduce a punitive measure in legislation when industrial relations are in…

I want to respond to the Minister's comments first. The Minister raised a lot of points, and I welcome his offer to engage with the Committee. If there is a mechanism to find the relevant assurances that there will be amendments tabled to clause 3 that are acceptable to the Committee and give teachers the comfort and…

I thank the Minister for his intervention. I cannot guarantee that I will give as much time to each intervention from here on in. The Minister made a short speech. I will pick up on his comments. I will respond to Mr Baker, because it is an important point. Mr Baker looked sceptically at me when I suggested that he…

I will respond to Mr Baker's question. When any Committee puts an amendment forward on any issue, it is entirely down to the Speaker whether that amendment is selected. That is not to say that we should not do the work to deliver those amendments, but, separate to that, on every single clause in every single Bill that…

I thank the Minister for his answer. Can the Minister outline how often his Department's funding policy interdepartmental working group meets the Northern Ireland Office and whether it has facilitated engagement with the community and voluntary sector and the Northern Ireland Office through that forum?

Those two announcements coming within 24 hours of each other represent a classic case of mixed messaging. The report on demand for integrated education,…
