What hope has the judiciary of making any ruling on the legislation when we cannot get a clear definition, whether it is in clause 6 or any of the other clauses, of gender identity? What hope does it have when it considers the Hansard report of the debate, when it is unclear throughout the debate what gender identity…

I will give him examples from across Northern Ireland of a couple of organisations that use football to spread the message of the gospel. I can think of one in Ballymena and another in Portadown where the children come together to play sport, after which a biblical message is relayed to them. That is an obvious…
I thank Mr Harvey for giving way. Christians in the House have a moral duty to stand up for their biblical beliefs. What we have heard here tonight from the Alliance Party is the liberal elite thinking that they know better. I am proud to stand in this House with other Christians who will challenge and call out your…

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Can the House get urgent clarification on when, if ever, a Bill containing a term that is not defined has been debated in the House and, furthermore, when the discussion of said term's definition has been ruled out of order? In these circumstances, we are debating a criminal…
Yesterday, at Question Time, the Minister of Education informed the House that, of the £361·2 million provided to the Northern Ireland Executive through Barnett consequentials for special educational needs provision, only £115·8 million, which equates to a measly 32%, will find its way to the Department of Education.…
You will not find anyone on this side of the Chamber defending the killing of Robert Hamill. I preface my remarks by saying that he was an innocent man whose death was completely unjustified and unjustifiable. My thoughts are with the entire Hamill family, but the central fact that was established yesterday, which no…

Does the Member agree that, if the Bill proceeds, one thing that the Alliance Party will achieve is the creation of more interface areas? There is a danger that people will look to exploit the legislation by deeming areas that are usually well-natured and neighbourly to be interface areas so that flags can be taken…
I am happy to give way to Ms Bradshaw if she wants to come in and provide us with costings, but I presume that that will be another question that will be put down for her summing up and to which we may or may not get an answer. We would have operating systems, investigations, plenty of officials, contractors, removal…
