I thank the Member for giving way. This is a really important debate, and we should all treat it with respect, because we are dealing with real people and their real-life dilemmas. Even someone who offers sexual services by choice is in extreme danger and at risk. You are saying that we are in danger of penalising or…

I thank the Member for giving way. I was waiting to see whether he had finished his commentary on those two amendments, and maybe he had a wee bit more to add, but I thank him for taking an intervention at this stage. When he talks about "misuse" of the power, is he talking about the PSNI, or is he talking about…

I thank Jon for giving way. We have passed other laws in the House, including the child protection disclosure scheme, which was the result of an amendment that I tabled to another Justice Bill. The police seem very slow in advertising to parents and others out there that the child protection disclosure scheme is…

I thank the Member for giving way. She is on the exact same page as I am and, indeed, as the Minister is. I have no doubt about that. There is no issue with amendment No 88 with regard to what it does with the various orders. That is sound. The issue is in the wording of amendment No 89 and the definition used to…

I thank the Minister for that intervention and that commitment. She will know that I am sincere when I say that the Department, the Minister and I will work hard together to address any concerns that the Department has. I hope that Members opposite and everywhere else in the Chamber will acknowledge the engagement and…

The Member makes a valuable contribution. As legislators, we have to be agile in the battles out there. It is a battleground, and people are being damaged and hurt every hour of the day. This is a war, and we should counter it as such, because people are being damaged or destroyed every day. It is important that we…

I thank the Member for his intervention, lengthy as it was. He made an important point. I nearly forgot that I had the Floor, because Brian was taking so long, but I thank him. While I jest, he made really important points and will, I know, speak on them at greater length. I commend the amendment to the House and ask…

I thank the Minister for that intervention. That critical information will, hopefully, be broadcast throughout the Province and will inform people about the support that is out there. My colleague Brian Kingston wanted to come in.

I thank the Member for raising that, because it is a really important issue. There are people who do it by choice. I think that there is a better way in life and in society. However, as Lord Morrow did in his cutting-edge Bill all those years ago, I want to put that question at the heart of our debate, whereby we do…

I thank the Minister for that really important intervention. I echo the sentiments in her speech on that. It is horrific. It takes great courage for a woman who finds herself in that position to actually speak up, get out and seek the support and help that she needs. For most of the time that she is in captivity and…

I thank the Minister for that very important intervention. I hope that that gives confidence to people out there and gives confidence to the House that it can vote positively for those two amendments to modernise the law around vacancy and to repeal the past law, which was archaic and included bad language to describe…

To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 45180/22-27, whether any assessment has been made of any reasons the introduction of an industry levy on licensed gambling operators provided for in the Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 might be unfeasible or…

To ask the Minister for Communities whether he will publish any terms of reference used for his Department’s scoping exercise into the feasibility and sustainability of an industry levy on licensed gambling operators.

I thank the Member for her intervention. Just to be clear, we do not want to see the age of criminal responsibility rise. Irrespective, however, of the petition of concern and the number of Members who have signed the notice so far, we also know that the age of criminal responsibility could be raised. Even if it is…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. First, I thank all the Members for their contributions to the debate on the group 2 amendments, particularly those who spoke in support of the Committee amendments. The House has heard from other Members who have tabled amendments in the group. The Minister has spoken to her amendments…

I thank the Member for giving way. It is helpful that he has done so, because I wish to correct the record. When I was speaking as Chairperson of the Justice Committee, I inadvertently promoted my amendment No 65, rather than amendment No 52, which is what I should have said. I also said that the report must include…

I thank the Minister for that contribution and clarification. I will end it there. We have had a good debate, including the to-and-fro with the Minister and other Members, and I thank everyone for their contributions. I will be taking notes, because I will be making a winding-up speech on this group of amendments.

I thank the Minister for that clarification. It does not feel right to me that those organisations may get preferential treatment over the ordinary man in the street who could end up in court. There is a massive stigma when someone has to attend court, even when they are innocent. You usually end up having to run the…

I thank the Minister for that contribution. She says that the live links that came out of the Coronavirus Act have been working successfully for six years, but how does she know that? Does the Minister not agree that a review could iron out any problems, fault lines or errors in the system in order to make it even…

I agree with the Minister about the benefits that live links have brought. I absolutely have supported those benefits as they have come forward. I really do think that the use of live links has been a very good exercise. I have been a cheerleader for them. I say again that they are one of the only positives that I…

I thank the Minister and Emma Sheerin for their contributions. It is a good debate. However, we will debate raising the age of criminal responsibility in another group. Therefore, it could well be that the age of criminal responsibility lands at 14 anyway. In effect, you could vote for something that makes what I am…
