Mr Stewart Dickson: Assembly records
All of Mr Stewart Dickson’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Cancellation of Summer Schemes in Special Schools That this Assembly expresses grave concern that the Education Authority has announced the cancellation of summer schemes in special schools in 2026 due to concerns about healthcare provision for participating children; recognises that these schemes provide a lifeline…
My colleague Eóin Tennyson and, indeed, others in the Chamber have outlined their view that, while much of the motion's text is common sense, fine words are one thing, but actions are another. The motion would, perhaps, have been better directed at the Executive Office — of which Committee I am a member — in which, of…
I will use my Member's statement to mark Marie Curie's daffodil appeal for the month of March, an appeal that, this year, reaches its 40th anniversary. That is indeed a significant milestone, and it is right that the Assembly takes a moment to recognise that. Marie Curie provides palliative care at the end of life to…
The Member makes an important point. The moment that the world lifts its head away from the rules-based order that brought us to where we have been since the Second World War and proceeds without respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law, we will enter into the anarchy of what the American regime, under…
Thank you for your answer, Minister. You stated previously that you had asked the hospitality industry to bring forward evidence to make the case for a change in methodology. When do you expect that evidence to come forward, and how long will it take you and your officials to review the evidence in order to ensure…
To ask the Minister of Education, given that the feasibility review for the Carrickfergus Academy new build concluded in November 2025, to outline when the business case is expected to be complete.
Thank you, Minister, for that very detailed answer. As you said, secondary legislation is due in the House tomorrow. What will be the consequences if we do not support that legislation on the extension of the emissions trading scheme to the maritime sector?
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. You are right: the quality of recycling material is important, and it is important that we boost that across all our local authorities. Can the Minister tell the House when we will receive guidance for our local authorities?
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. Since coming to the Assembly, I have taken a great deal of interest in the speeding up justice programme. Will you provide more detail on the out-of-court disposal work that you and your Department are doing?
Mr Dickson asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for his assessment of the case for extending the UK emissions trading scheme to the maritime sector.
To ask the Minister of Finance for an update on his engagement with hospitality businesses in relation to the methodology used to calculate their rates.
As chair of the all-party group (APG) on cancer, I will talk about lung cancer. Over the past 20 years, the number of lung cancer diagnoses in rural and coastal areas has effectively doubled, largely driven by an ageing population. That is putting great pressure on services. Across Northern Ireland, some 1,300 people…
I welcome the motion and the opportunity that it presents. I particularly welcome the Irish presidency of the Council of the European Union. That is a genuinely significant moment, and it is one that has occurred in the past. The Alliance Party believes that Northern Ireland should be drawing on the benefits of that…
Thank you, junior Minister, for recognising the work that the Committee did to deliver its report. It is important that victims and survivors can have their situation explained to the public inquiry, when we get to that stage. How will they be involved in shaping the inquiry's terms of reference?

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, in light of the relocation of Islandmagee Primary School on the Low Road, whether the part-time 20mph speed limit will be applied at the new school location.
Minister, you will have heard sustained criticism in the House of the waiting times for the commencement of treatment for cancer patients, particularly as they approach surgery, which you will understand. I appreciate that that is a difficult issue to resolve, but it is imperative for the patients who are waiting for…
