There is not a huge amount for me to summarise, so I will just do the formalities. As Chair of the Committee, I thank the Deputy Chair of the Committee and Bill sponsor, Pat Sheehan, for introducing the Bill, and I thank the Clerk, the Committee team and the Bill Office for all their support with the process. As I…

I thank the Minister for giving way. Despite the Minister's assertions that, as a party, we are outsourcing our education policy to Sinn Féin, I think that I was very clear in my comments that, from the Alliance Party's perspective, we are happy to take the advice of the First Legislative Counsel, and I certainly hope…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I am conscious that we need to focus on the amendments, but amendment No 6 is being framed as one through which to address the issue of finance. If the Member is saying that this is the thing to do, which seems to be the message coming from DUP Members, and is certainly the…

I will make just a wee bit more progress. I will finish my remarks on finance and then bring you in. Another example that I will give — I have been labouring this point, possibly as a lone voice — is that £5 million is spent every year on placing two-year-olds in our nursery schools, and £5 million is not an…

I thank the Minister for his answer. Will he confirm that, when a Budget is finally agreed, he will ensure that the community and voluntary sector, funded through People and Place schemes such as the small pockets of deprivation programme — I have seen evidence of its good work in my constituency — will be assured of…

After the exchanges that we have just had in the Chamber, it feels slightly incongruous to be presenting a highly localised petition to the Assembly. I make no apology for doing so, however, because there has not been much that has been constructive in the exchanges that we have heard today. I make it clear that my…

That was a very feisty debate. I started off with dry and procedural, but everybody else just kicked off and rehearsed the Second Stage debate. I will try to just give you dry and procedural, and maybe we will get the Bill over the line. I do not think that there is any value in going through everybody's contributions…

I thank the Bill sponsor for that intervention. I put on record my thanks to Jonathan Redpath and the rest of the team in the Bill Office for their assistance and support in developing the amendments and throughout the process. It is important to note that not all Committee members supported the Bill in principle. In…

I will give way to the Bill sponsor in one moment. As we progress through the process and the further stages, it will be important to get clarity on how the financial cost will be borne. I will give way to the Bill sponsor.

I thank the Member for his intervention. I will try to deal with both of those points together, as they are connected. I cannot recall the exact text of the response, but I have to say that there was not a very direct response to suggest that other Departments were queueing up to pick up the issue. It would have been…

Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Committee for Education, I welcome the opportunity to speak at Consideration Stage of the Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill, which was introduced on 3 March.

I will speak in support of the Tree Protection Bill. I pay tribute to my colleague and friend Peter McReynolds for bringing it forward. It is positive to see a scenario in which we do not just articulate a problem — that problem being that we need more trees and to better protect the trees that we have — but have…

I thank the Committee Chair for giving way. I do not expect him to be an avid reader of the 'Newtownards Chronicle', but, if he were, he would know that I worked for many years on a campaign to protect a piece of ancient woodland, Tullynagardy Wood, in my constituency. When there was a proposal for five detached homes…

I thank the Minister for his answer. As this is the first opportunity to do so, I put on record my congratulations to the Minister on his appointment. Minister, you will be aware — I hope that you are aware — that as far back as 2018, the then Health and Social Care Board gave clear assurances to patient advocate…

I thank the Minister for that answer. A lot of concerns are being raised about the distinct shift in the draft curriculum framework from a curriculum that is focused on skills to one that is very much focused on a knowledge-rich approach. Given your responsibilities around the skills agenda, how will you continue to…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will not speak for long, and I do not plan to rehearse everything that has been said. However, I begin by doing something that I overlooked when I spoke at the beginning: thanking the Deputy Chair of the Committee who first proposed the Bill. It is important to note that it was the…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. It is a real privilege to move the Second Stage of the Bill. As far as I know, this is the first occasion on which the Education Committee has introduced a Bill, so it is gratifying to see it reach Second Stage. The Committee's journey with the Bill began when it undertook Committee Stage…

I have nothing to add to my original comments other than to respond to Mr Brooks.

I thank the Member for his answer. The British Heart Foundation has been keen to ensure that that registration went ahead, so that will be welcome news. Are there any plans to share information on where those defibrillators are with all users of the Building so that they can be easily accessed in an emergency?
