Thank you so much for coming to the Chamber today, Minister.

It is bittersweet that we have had to wait this long for it, but I hope that it stands as a foundation for the delivery that the public deserve, especially if all Departments consider it a baseline and foundation from which to…
I take this opportunity to correct the record and respond to comments made during last week's private renters debate by a fellow Member for North Antrim. During the debate, Mr Gaston claimed that so-called uncontrolled immigration was driving up rents, particularly in deprived areas, such as in certain parts of North…
Minister, I particularly like the fact that you referenced the mental health of farmers in dealing with this crisis. What else can farmers do to reduce the risk of TB on their farms?
