Mrs Pam Cameron: Assembly records
All of Mrs Pam Cameron’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
This is an incredibly important day, as we consider the proposed amendments to the Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill. I also came to the legislation at a later stage in the process, when the Committee was scrutinising the Bill. I declare an interest, in…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Does he find it ironic that Sinn Féin continually talks about social housing as a top priority, yet, when it came to the draft Budget, the proposed allocation from the Sinn Féin Finance Minister did not come even remotely close to delivering what it had agreed in the housing supply…
Last Friday, Sinn Féin's official youth wing posted a video clip online that, it insinuated, was a statement made by me attacking the Communities Minister during a Committee session. The post described the statement as "not AI", implying that it was therefore factual. The post has received many comments and views. Its…
I thank the Minister for her answer and, indeed, for the time that she gave so generously last week when she met the family. Does she agree that it should not be necessary for an MLA to make representations to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS), to her as Justice Minister and, indeed, to the Criminal Bar Association…
I thank the Members who tabled the motion for highlighting the ongoing and deeply concerning issues surrounding autism services in Northern Ireland. As a member of the all-party group on autism and sponsor of the Autism (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, I am profoundly frustrated that, despite repeated…
Mrs Cameron asked the Minister of Justice, given that the Minister will be aware that, four years and four months since the death of her constituent Mr Ian McCollum in a workplace incident, the defendant yesterday pleaded guilty to manslaughter, much to the relief of Kathryn and Aaron McCollum, with a date of 29 June…
I am delighted to speak today on the Final Stage of the Sign Language Bill. It is a historic day. It is an incredibly significant and long-awaited day and one that will be welcomed by the deaf community across Northern Ireland and further afield. I welcome all of you to our Public Gallery. It is great to have you with…
I thank the Minister for his answer. With over £350 million a year being lost through benefit fraud and error, there is huge potential to recoup funds. I urge the Minister to support the Communities Minister and push the UK Treasury on that topic. What practical steps has the Finance Minister taken to address funding…
The UK Treasury awarded extra money to bodies across the UK to address the significant increase in demand for special educational needs services. The Education Minister has for some time been referring to the pressure that SEN provision is putting on his Department's budget. Will the additional £380 million in Barnett…
I thank the Minister for his statement to the House. I welcome the fact that special educational needs was discussed at the meeting, given the importance that it has in our school community. Will the Minister provide an update on further special educational needs provision, with particular reference to Dromore?
I thank the Minister for his really important statement to the House. Minister, some Members in the Chamber would do well to speak to the schools, principals and staff to hear what they have to say. Thank you for coming out to schools in South Antrim last week. We heard directly from them. Will the Minister explain…
Mrs Cameron asked the Minister of Finance whether there has been an update from the UK Treasury on the potential to increase funding for Northern Ireland through the proposals from the Minister for Communities on the recovery of funds from fraud and error in the benefits system.
The 108th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air Force was marked on 1 April this year. The Ulster Aviation Society celebrated it with the handover of a Harrier jet from the Chief of the Air Staff. I am sure that the First Minister will demonstrate our working together by joining me in commending the work of…
I thank the Minister for her answer. Will she detail what representation she has made to the UK Government on behalf of local businesses facing those rising costs? Will she continue to press for support that reflects Northern Ireland's reliance on road transport and logistics specifically?
I welcome the opportunity to speak at the Further Consideration Stage of the Sign Language Bill. I place on record my appreciation for the engagement that has taken place throughout the passage of the Bill. Deaf people and their representative organisations have played a key role in shaping the Bill, and that…
Minister, one line stands out in Royal College of Emergency Medicine's press release, which is that Northern Ireland: "has the highest rates of long waits in EDs, and deaths per capita resulting from them, of any UK nation." It further states that almost 20 lives are lost each week because of long waits in ED. That is…
I thank the Minister for that detailed answer and for giving us details on what was clearly a busy and worthwhile visit in which he represented not just the unionist community but all of the community in Northern Ireland. Will the Minister outline the cost and what he sees as the value of the visit to the US?
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Response to the Cost-of-living Crisis”
Response to the Cost-of-living Crisis - Amendment 3 Leave out all after ‘as a result of’ and insert: ‘rising tensions in the Middle East and the decisions of successive Conservative and Labour Governments to elevate net zero targets over our energy security needs; further notes that the UK Government’s response has…
From the assessments of T:BUC that have been undertaken to date, will the deputy First Minister confirm that the programme has been a success and that we should now actively drive forward a refreshed programme to support the excellent work of the groups and organisations that have been involved?
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline any assessment that has been made of the impact of the recent sharp increases in fuel costs on businesses and key sectors across Northern Ireland.
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline the key engagements he undertook during his visit to the United States of America over the St Patrick’s Day period.
I rise to support the Sign Language Bill at Consideration Stage. I record my thanks to the Minister and the Chair of the Committee for outlining so well the work on the legislation as it made its way through Committee Stage. It is important to note that it is a complex, sensitive piece of legislation, and the Assembly…
