I begin by focusing the attention of the House on the figure of £31,041,393,000 in clause 1(2). Yes, it is not quite the £57 trillion that we were promised yesterday in the Estimates but, even so, it is a generous amount of money. I remind the House that none of that money is raised by the Assembly. The finances that…
I will focus today on the lack of transparency in the House and on the failure of Ministers to adhere to their responsibilities under Standing Orders to respond to questions for written answer. Standing Orders are very clear. Standing Order 20C(4) states: "The Minister or member representing the Assembly Commission to…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs

Thank you very much, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Members, I begin by drawing the House's attention to table 1 on the page marked with Roman numeral vii in the book that I have here. You will notice that the heading on the table tells us that the money that we are debating today is not in thousands but in the…
Will the Minister outline whether any financial support will be made available to proactively increase biosecurity measures at entrances to poultry farms and related businesses to prevent the disease spreading and reduce the likelihood of future cross-contamination?
Deputy First Minister, on 12 September last year, I tabled a priority question for written answer asking how much your Department spent on your last trip to Washington. You still have not answered. When did your officials provide you with a draft answer to that question? More importantly, why does your Department so…
I begin by commenting on how the Bill got to this stage. It is right and necessary to do so, because the process that it went through before appearing in the Order Paper was most irregular. Executive Office guidance on consultation is clear. It sets the standard for consultation at 12 weeks. Paragraphs 8 to 10 of the…
I welcome the comments of Vice President J D Vance at the Munich security conference. His reminder that some of our most fundamental values are being disregarded should act as a wake-up call to those in power. It is outrageous that Adam Smith-Connor was convicted for silently praying outside an abortion clinic. Closer…
