Mr Phillip Brett: Assembly records
All of Mr Phillip Brett’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any consideration that has been given to creating a framework for the creation of a Northern Ireland AI Growth Zone.
I warmly welcome the opportunity to speak in the debate. It has been an example of the best of the Assembly, with Members passionately arguing for the causes that matter to them and their constituents. I speak as someone who has taken considerable interest in animal welfare and as a member of the Assembly's all-party…
I appreciate the Member giving way. He knows more about rural issues than I do, but I am unaware of any supply chain or restaurant that sends out mammals to hunt animals that are then caught, brought to the restaurant and used. Does the Member have examples of those in his constituency?
Key Programme for Government targets have not been met as a result of climate change legislation that you, as First Minister, supported. On Saturday, I welcomed your apparent forthcoming U-turn on climate change targets to try to deliver the A5 and other infrastructure projects. Do you now regret voting for targets…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any assessment been made of the comments by the Federation of Small Businesses NI, that almost two thirds of businesses were unaware of the Good Jobs Employment Rights Bill consultation.
To ask the Minister for the Economy (i) to detail who (a) was invited to; and (b) attended, her meeting with business organisations on 21 May 2026; and (ii) whether any assessment has been made of who now supports her Good Jobs Employments Rights Bill following this meeting.
I appreciate that the Member does not have the clarity that the other Member was seeking, but we are voting on legislation, and it is not a matter of, "I think that that is what this does". We are being asked to vote on the law that will govern the process. If the Member is not 100% sure of the impact of his…
I appreciate the junior Minister's focus on that point. It was a particular point of deliberation at Committee, because we had listened strongly to the views of victims and survivors. Advice to the Committee from Executive Office officials, however, was clear that no admission-based scheme on this issue anywhere in…
I thank the Member for giving way. On the point that she was making, does she agree that most of the consultation was not about the amount of money for victims but about recognition, justice and truth and that, for many of the people who came to our Committee, money was a secondary issue?
Will the Minister agree that the Committee's amendment No 20, which proposes 21 days, goes further than the Inquiries Act 2005, which governs all public inquiries across the United Kingdom, and that, if we do agree an increase to 21 days, that will ensure that victims and survivors have the most appropriate and,…
The Minister recognises that Invest Northern Ireland remains the leader in attracting foreign direct investment to Northern Ireland. Given that, Minister, why have you not responded to my question for written answer of 15 March, in which I asked how many names came forward to you from your officials for appointment to…
Will the Member accept the shortcoming in his amendment, which states: "(a) the nature of the evidence sought, and (b) the person, body or public authority from whom it was sought." There is no subsection in that to articulate the reason why the evidence did not come forward. That may be wilful withholding by an…
I appreciate the Member's giving way. That point was very well articulated by the Member for North Belfast Ms Ní Chuilín. She sought clear commitments from officials that that would not be the case. That has been included in the Committee report as a result of Carál's work.
I thank the Deputy Chair for giving way and also for his dedication during the process. Does he agree that, actually, the insertion of a new clause by amendment No 10 would be the result of a huge amount of work by the Chair, the Deputy Chair and other Committee members, because it was a matter of particular angst for…
