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 (i) whether her Department undertook any assessment of the potential impact of the draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026 proposal, on Northern Ireland’s (a) competitiveness; (b) supply chains; and (c) cost…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any representations her Department made to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, regarding the potential economic impact of the proposed extension of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 40557/22-27, given Translink's assessment that the bridge is safe, to detail the reason why her Department does not view this as a case for adoption purposes.
In North Belfast, our councils do vital work to support the long-term unemployed and those who are economically inactive into work. Does the Minister agree that one of the greatest ways to get people out of poverty is by supporting them into work?
I appreciate the Minister giving away. I will listen with interest when he talks later about why Northern Ireland should not get the same exemptions as Scotland. Minister, you talk about feasibility studies and planned interventions, and the Member for Lagan Valley beside you often talks about delays in feasibility…
I welcome the junior Minister to her place. I wish the Minister for the Economy well in her endeavours in the United States as she continues to sell the importance of Northern Ireland's position within the internal market of the United Kingdom and the strengths of our services sector, which is, of course, not covered…
Most mornings, when I arrive up here, I think that I am in a parallel universe, but, when I hear lectures from the SDLP and the Ulster Unionist Party about the institutions, I know I am in such a universe. Those two parties created the institutions that they have now come here to criticise and debate. They try to…
FlaggedSectarianism, hate crime and community relationsCriteria met: Identity framing, Dog-whistle messaging.
I appreciate the Member's giving way. He says that we should go back to the factory settings of the Belfast Agreement. The Belfast Agreement was clear in providing for a First Minister and a deputy First Minister, so he is contradicting the very point that he is making.
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether her Department would consider a mechanism by which the Student Finance NI loan cap is indexed to course fees, to prevent the gaps in disparity between the maximum loan available and overall cost of specific courses becoming unreasonably significant.
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether her Department will engage with Student Finance Northern Ireland, in relation to the £6,500 tuition fee cap, which is restrictive to prospective post-graduate students applying to courses which exceed this cost.
To ask the Minister of Finance to detail when the last rates payment was received by Land and Property Services from Green Cross Art and Bookshop Limited.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether her Department will consider resurfacing Hillview Park, Glengormley, in the 2026-27 resurfacing programme.
I thank colleagues for tabling the motion for debate. It is not a particularly new issue: the challenges that the Member for Foyle articulated have been well known for some time. I will come to that later in remarks about my personal experience of the CAO process. From my limited understanding of the issue, which I…
I welcome the junior Minister back to her place. We are delighted to have her back. In relation to contributions, the Committee was very keen that work be done by the Executive Office team to ensure that the named institutions contributed to the scheme. Can the junior Minister update us on the work that officials have…
I apologise to the House for being late for the Minister's statement. Thank you, Minister, for your statement and your important work on this matter. Can you expand on the relationship with GB Energy? I see that as a really important opportunity to get some much-needed financial support, particularly for community-led…
The party opposite never tires of telling us that it is the party of transparency and the working class, but, according to a remarkable investigation by the 'Sunday Life', it may also be the party with the most successful invisible bookshop in history. Green Cross (Art and Bookshop) Ltd, a company directed by a former…
