Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members who tabled the motion and the Minister for being present to respond to the debate on this important issue. It is essential that we seek to minimise the chance of vulnerable people being exploited. We need to be confident that treatments are safe and of a high…

I thank the Minister for his answer. Given the significant history between the US and my constituency of North Antrim, how will my constituency benefit from that link?

UKCV Family has reached out to contact the First Minister and the deputy First Minister. Will the deputy First Minister give a commitment to the House that she and the First Minister will reach out to the UKCV Family charity?
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer, for meeting Vaccine Injured and Bereaved Support and for the actions that came out of that meeting. She may not be aware that not only does VIBS-NI operate and do sterling work in Northern Ireland, but there is a new charity called UKCV Family, which represents all the…

It has been an interesting debate. However, when I read the motion, I was horrified to see how eager the SDLP is to slap businesses, people and the community with a further tax. It seems that the SDLP thinks that the way to get out of all problems is by taxation. To impose such a tax would lead to massive consequences…
You are giving me a bad name, Mr Deputy Speaker. On a serious note, I do not know that three minutes is anywhere near sufficient for anybody to frame an argument in any debate. I ask the Opposition to consider that for the next time. When it comes to their aims and objectives, maybe less is more.
