I beg to move amendment No 79: I begin by recognising the seriousness and importance of what we are debating today. Raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) is about whether our response makes further harm more likely or less likely. That is at the heart of the debate. When it came to tabling my…
Enabling a programme such as Right to Try will depend on employers being able to provide opportunities. What discussions have you had with the Minister for the Economy to ensure that employers are ready and willing to provide such opportunities?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the progress of their Department becoming the sponsor of the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY), in line with the recommendation in the Tailored Review of NICCY, commissioned by the Department for Communities…
I will not try to pronounce the phrase, because Emma has confused me about how I was going to pronounce it. Does the Minister agree that reintroducing that framework would be a backward step, because we would end up with 10-to-13-year-olds still being open to arrest and prosecution rather than being diverted away from…
This week marks Carers' Week 2026. This year's theme is "Building Carer-friendly Communities", and it could not be more timely.

I rise today to talk about the abuse of the protective mechanism by one party in this Chamber. I got involved in politics 15 years ago because, at my core, I believe in social justice. I believe that it is the duty of every single one of us to fight for a fairer and more equal society. When, in 1998, the majority of…
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am really grateful for the opportunity to have an Adjournment debate on access to early intervention and family support services in North Antrim. The debate is about families who are trying to get help early before difficulty becomes crisis. However, too often, they find a…
I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Communities Committee's report on engagement with local government on the draft anti-poverty strategy. First, I thank the clerking team for all their hard work in taking forward my suggestion to compile the report, once we realised just how valuable the contribution of…
Today is World Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Day, and I want to speak about my constituent Mark.
