  1. Debate contribution: Housing and the Programme for Government

    • Opposition Business

    The Executive's lack of a short-term plan undermines their long-term promises. The maths simply does not add up, and communities are paying the price. Illegal HMOs are adding to the strain. Members may not want to face up to it, but HMOs are pushing up rents in working-class areas. The current system, whereby all HMO…

    Flagged Decided on a second assessment. Immigration, asylum, race, ethnicity and Travellers Criteria met: Sectarian or communal antagonism.

  2. Debate contribution: Housing and the Programme for Government

    • Opposition Business

    Northern Ireland Water says that it needs £640 million this year to fund its investment appropriately, but it has got £321 million. There are 37,000 houses with approved planning permission, but the network has capacity for only 18,000 in specific areas across Northern Ireland. Moreover, 34 areas across 23 towns are…

  3. Debate contribution: Housing and the Programme for Government

    • Opposition Business

    The promise of 100,000 homes by 2039 rings hollow when we cannot deliver 1,000 social homes this year. Over 44,000 people are on housing waiting lists. In my constituency, families feel the real impact of that inaction, which is worsened by such systematic failures as Northern Ireland Water's inability to support new…

    • Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs

    To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (i) whether the Loughs Agency has considered introducing mitigation measures within TREES sites, such as leaky dams or willow planting, rather than placing the burden on farmers; and (ii) for the Loughs Agency assessment of whether these nature-based…

    • Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs

    To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, pursuant to AQW 27769/22-27, whether the Minister can confirm that the Loughs Agency is now fully cognisant of the need to conserve wetland habitat at the TREES sites and the species at risk therein.

  8. Debate contribution: Product Regulation and Metrology Bill: Legislative Consent Motion

    • Executive Committee Business

    This legislative consent motion should concern every unionist in the House. The Bill that it concerns gives Westminster Ministers sweeping powers to make regulations not through debate, not by vote and not by parliamentary oversight but by diktat. Why? It is so that Great Britain may, at the discretion of the…

  9. Debate contribution: Environmental Protection (Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and other Dangerous Substances) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025

    • Executive Committee Business

    I oppose the draft statutory rule because of how and why the legislation is being brought forward. Let me be clear: these draft regulations are not simply a technical update but part of a broader and far more troubling pattern, which is the ongoing subjugation of Northern Ireland's lawmaking powers by the European…

  10. Debate contribution: Education, Skills and Training Provision: SEN Students

    • Ministerial Statement

    Minister, a number of months ago, Colin Crawford and I hosted the Education Minister at Castle Tower School in Ballymena. The principal is keen to pilot a scheme similar to that for colleges, which is set out in your statement, but it requires the buy-in from the Department of Education, the Department of Health and…
