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.
Thank you, Minister, for the update. I agree that the role of the board is to advise, but does the Minister have concerns about the decision by the public-sector transformation board to streamline the 47 bids that were received down to the 29 that reached your desk, meaning that 18 projects were not taken forward to…
Last week, the Chancellor of the Exchequer made the correct decision to unpause city deals across Northern Ireland. However, what the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not do was unpause the withholding of £2·5 million of funding for my constituency of North Belfast. Six months ago, the Shore Road skills centre was,…
I thank the Member for South Belfast for moving this important motion. My party has for many years recognised how vital our town and city centres are to our communities across Northern Ireland. As the motion focuses on changing habits from the COVID pandemic, I again pay tribute to the work of the former Economy…
Minister, do you agree that all minority languages are important in Northern Ireland, and that there is a clear focus by some elements in the House to pick out one language and not focus on the clear agreements that were made that all languages would be treated fairly and equitably here in Northern Ireland?
It is important that we recognise that, in this financial year, an extra £1·2 billion of in-year spending has been awarded to Northern Ireland by the Government. As the Finance Minister rightly says, the collective work of Members of this House and of other places has resulted in the un-pausing of two city deals. The…
As we enter the period of national remembrance, across Northern Ireland communities will come together and fall silent as they remember those who came before us and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. In my constituency of North Belfast, we are extremely proud of those who made the…

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to list the resurfacing schemes he expects to go on site in the remainder of this financial year in North Belfast.

To ask the Minister of Health, in light of his funding announcement for improving provision for children with disabilities, whether the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice will be eligible under the proposals.
As a proud member of the all-party group on animal welfare, I am pleased to make a short contribution to the debate. First and foremost, I pay tribute to my colleague the Member for Strangford Michelle McIlveen not only for tabling this important motion but for being a strong and relentless champion for animal welfare…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Yesterday, during questions to the First Minister, the First Minister once again said the line that has been proven to be incorrect. At the weekend, the information was clear that the teenager subjected to inappropriate contact by Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile was 16 years of age.…
I have given notice that I will raise a point of order after Members' statements. I am disappointed, given the issue that I want to raise, that the First Minister is now walking out of the Chamber. Another day and another Sinn Féin scandal: another day and another police investigation surrounding the behaviour of Sinn…
