  1. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I totally agree with you. In the development of the Bill, I consulted widely, including with economists across the border. I brought one of them to the Committee to give evidence — John Daly, from the Northern and Western Regional Assembly. We worked with the Nevin Economic Research Institute, the Economic and Social…

  2. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    We were conscious, first, that there not should not be a strategy for strategy's sake and that there should not be reporting for reporting's sake. We built accountability into the Bill. Part 2 is about accountability and transparency. There is a level of reporting in it, but also a level of evaluation. Evaluating what…

  3. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. I agree with what you are saying about diagnosing the issue and why it is happening. That is why I have listed a series of indices at clause 7. There is no one statistic that can tell you how you will achieve regional balance. There is a plethora of economic statistics…

  4. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. I will be very clear on this: we are not talking about taking investment away from Belfast. I do not accept that. We are not talking about taking investment away from anywhere. I want Belfast to continue to succeed, but Belfast doing well should not require any other…

  5. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you very much, and thank you for the kind words at the beginning of your address. I know that we are drifting into other areas, but I looked at the definition of "regions" in clause 7 of my Bill and clearly indicated that we are looking at the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and at…

  6. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    The cross-border point is in the Bill in two places. It is about the collection of data. Clause 1(3)(e) refers to: "provisions requiring Northern Ireland departments to recognise and consider cross-border economic data in policies, strategies and plans so as to reduce regional disparities". I have also referred to it…

  7. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. I appreciate that we are on the same page when we talk about regional balance and our city and region. We have a long way to go in relation to Invest NI. I contest that figure of 59% concerning regional balance outside the city. Invest NI counted the number of…

  8. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am delighted to move the Second Stage of my Regional Balance Bill. I will begin by thanking some of the people who have helped to get me to this point. Introducing a Member's Bill is not something that any Member does alone, and I have been incredibly fortunate to have had…

  9. Debate contribution: Renewable Electricity Generation Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Renewable Electricity Generation Bill and confirm that the SDLP will support the Bill at Second Stage. The legislation is important. It provides the basis for the renewable electricity price guarantee and, through contracts for difference, should provide greater certainty for…

  10. Debate contribution: Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (Closure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2026

    • Executive Committee Business

    The SDLP welcomes the fact that we have finally reached the point at which the RHI scheme can be closed. It has taken far too long — that needs to be said again and again — but the regulations allow us to draw a line under a scheme that has cast a long shadow over government in this place. We recognise the work that…

  11. Debate contribution: Mobuoy Remediation Project

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for that answer. We have recently seen the British Government step in to support a £6 million clean-up of a major illegal dump in Oxfordshire where more than 22,000 tons of waste was removed. Given the greater scale that we face in Mobuoy, has the Minister engaged directly with the British…
