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.
I share the Minister's optimism about the pay settlement for the police, and I hope that we are both right to have that optimism. My question goes much wider, however, because it is about police funding as a whole. We all know about the pressures that policing faces at the moment. Is she as optimistic that something…
I appreciate the Minister giving way, and I appreciate his language in the debate. It has been very helpful and encouraging for Erin and the families who are listening. He said that space is at a premium. There is a suggestion that there is a disused shop on the site. Will the Minister explore the genesis of that…
The Member is right to point out the financial pressures, but, given the difficulty that some of those children face, addressing them in a calm and timely manner would be much more efficient and could actually save money in the long term for the staff. Does the Member agree?
Given the magnitude of the situation and the hurt that has been caused to those who have been affected by it, I appreciate that the Minister has offered to meet the family. Given that mistakes have been made, will anyone be held accountable for them? There was clearly more than one mistake. Does the Minister think…
I thank the Minister for that update. Minister, given the nature and the urgency of the matter in hand and given the dire straits that the police find themselves in, how hopeful are you that a solution can be found before the end of the financial year?
Mr Clarke asked the Minister of Finance whether, following his update to the House a few weeks ago on correspondence from the Treasury about the business case for funding for the PSNI, he or the Justice Minister have had conversations about advancing that business case and how we are going to make up that shortfall in…
PSNI Meeting with Sinn Féin Representatives To ask the Minister of Justice for her assessment of reports that PSNI officers have been asked to remove firearms before meeting Sinn Féin representatives. [R]
To ask the Minister of Justice for her assessment of reports that PSNI officers have been asked to remove firearms before meeting Sinn Féin representatives. [R]
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I ask you to review the conduct of Madam Principal Deputy Speaker during Question Time today. When one of our Members asked a question, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker decided that the Minister would not answer it, and the Minister was not afforded the opportunity of deciding whether…
My only disappointment is that I did not get an invitation to join you, Minister. I am sure that other Members on these Benches would have welcomed the opportunity to join you to see at first hand some of the genocide that happened to the Israelis, as opposed to listening to some of the chuntering that we hear from…
FlaggedReligion and belief (including people of no religion), churches, faith communities and religious prejudice (including antisemitism and anti-Muslim prejudice)Criteria met: Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.
I thank the Minister for that answer. I am glad that she pointed out the Department's consultative role and the road safety issues. Minister, given all of that and the fact that there is a sign in your constituency that is adjacent to a bridge and is prejudicing road safety, when will you instruct your officials to…
Extension of Sitting on Monday 3 November 2025 under Standing Order 10(3A) That in accordance with Standing Order 10(3A), the sitting on Monday 3 November 2025 be extended to no later than 8.30pm.
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline any plans she has to assist the Police Service of Northern Ireland with its shortfall in funding for the 2025-26 financial year.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether public petitions are given any weight in the decision to install a pedestrian crossing, particularly when the number of pedestrians has been deemed as too low to be eligible.
It is disappointing to hear the leader of the Opposition politicking on the matter. He is not genuinely concerned about the officers and is clearly trying to score political points on that basis. Minister, it was surprising to hear today, given what you said in your initial answer, about the quantum of the claim.…
I will speak on funding for policing and, for the first time, not blame the Minister of Justice for the debacle that is unfolding before us. First, I will say that my thoughts are with the men and women who, every day, put on their uniform and go out to serve our community. They are caught up in a debacle through no…
Assembly Commission Budget for 2026-30 (revised wording) That this Assembly notes that the Assembly Commission presented its budget for 2026-30 to the Audit Committee on 17 September 2025; further notes the report of the Audit Committee on the scrutiny of the Assembly Commission's budget for 2026-30, laid in the…
I suppose that I could be described as churlish for going back to the podcast on which the First Minister's party colleague made those comments. Of course, the First Minister would say that those were her colleague's comments and were not made on behalf of the party. In response to her colleague from, I think, West…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline her Department's role in the planning process for banners and billboards erected on or near public highways.
Given the fuel poverty strategy and the importance of some elements of it, one of the things that has been really important to many of our constituents is the warm homes scheme. Can you give an update on whether that will continue to feature as part of the fuel poverty strategy or on what will happen with it in the…
Very briefly, I remind you that your Ministers held the Department for Infrastructure for a number of years. Your Member on the Back Bench and, indeed, the former Member for North Belfast both blocked an infrastructure project in North Belfast that would have prevented our shipping waste across the world. What is your…
I thank the Minister for her answer. I note from her answer that, unlike the other Departments, your Department set aside 3.5%. Is that included in the £23 million overspend, or is that money still protected? When are officers likely to know the outcome of the pay rise?
