Mr Trevor Clarke: Assembly records
All of Mr Trevor Clarke’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Extension of Sitting on Monday 19 January 2026 under Standing Order 10(3A) That in accordance with Standing Order 10(3A), the sitting on Monday 19 January 2026 be extended to no later than 8.15pm.
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline the number of Housing Executive properties in South Antrim that have been vacant for more than 12 months.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of tractor licence tests, carried out in the last 12 months, broken down by Driver and Vehicle Agency test centre.
I thank the Minister for that answer. You are giving advice to other Ministers today: will you give similar advice to your Minister for Infrastructure in relation to the A5? Is it true that she held the money from July, given the court case, and did not ask for reallocation until December?
The past weekend stood in stark contrast to the previous weekend. The rain took away the final remnants of the snow that we woke up to last week. That snow must have come as a shock to the Department for Infrastructure, because the roads ground to a halt last week. The lack of organisation in DFI, with traffic coming…
Extension of Sitting on Monday 12 January 2026 under Standing Order 10(3A) That in accordance with Standing Order 10(3A), the sitting on Monday 12 January 2026 be extended to no later than 9.00pm.
I was going to thank the Minister for her answers thus far, but I do not want to go as far as that because you have not actually answered any questions, Minister. Why did you mislead the House when there was a confidence issue around the conduct of the ombudsman?
I thank the Member for giving way. I am sure that he will agree that many people who face financial difficulties tune into Martin Lewis's programme, which, I think, is on a Tuesday night. Many people watch his programme for ideas. They scammed Martin Lewis. How much more authentic can they get when they can do that on…
It sounds good, Minister, that we will have an intelligent system, but that implies that some of the current engineers are not intelligent. That said, I can think of one example in my constituency about which I have asked officials for a meeting a number of times, but they say that they are working on the basis of…
Like others, I welcome the statement and the recovery plan for the PSNI and the pay awards, which have been discussed. Minister, an opportunity that was not addressed in the statement is money for the data breach. Lots of officers are concerned about pay rises and data breach money. Do you foresee that being delivered…
First, I commend the Minister for the programme. It has clearly been successful, given the high number of applications. As I am sure that the Minister knows, a high number of those will be from rural locations. Will the Minister give an update on Mr Muir's commitment to providing additional funding, given that he has…
I thank the deputy First Minister for that answer. During the question for urgent oral answer last week, the First Minister — or the Sinn Féin vice president; I am not sure which she was on the day — was at pains to talk about the invitation. Can the deputy First Minister confirm or otherwise whether there was an…
Has any assessment been done of what the Equality Commission spends its budget on and, in particular, how much it has spent on the legal cases that it has taken recently?
To ask the Minister of Health, following recent local media reports, to detail any action that will be taken to secure all areas of the Muckamore Abbey Hospital site to prevent further trespassing incidents taking place.
As the Member knows, I am here as a Commission member and am not supposed to have a political view. However, those matters are all subject to different codes. If someone had a particular issue on that day, they should have raised a complaint through the normal procedures.
I thank the Member for his question. The Assembly Commission has a policy entitled 'Conduct and Behaviour of Visitors in Parliament Buildings', which can be found on the Assembly's website. The purpose of the policy is primarily to ensure that the Assembly's core business and other events, be they at Parliament…
I cannot give the Member a definite time frame, other than to say that it will be early 2026. A lot of consideration has gone into it in previous meetings, and that is why it is at an advanced stage. The Commission was very aware of the state of the current building and of all the factors that have been highlighted by…
I thank the Member for her question. The Assembly Commission has used the security hut in the lower east car park for a number of years. The hut was originally installed and maintained by the Department of Finance, although, recently, it has fallen into a state of significant disrepair and is now considered to be…
One of the things that are particularly important for family farm succession is young farmers' schemes. It is disgraceful that no such scheme is planned. You said today, Minister, that there are no definitive plans for 2026. Your Department rolled out a pilot of the Farming for the Generations scheme, and that was a…
