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 thank the Member for her question. The Assembly Commission currently has the use of four car parks in the vicinity of Parliament Buildings. They are the two upper car parks, located on either side of the main Building, with a third, which is referred to as the lower east, or visitors', car park, situated a short…
I am not sure which question to take. I will go for the first one, on hybrid working. The balance between working in Parliament Buildings and working at home varies depending on the post, business need and the preference of the member of staff. Assembly staff carry out a wide range of varied roles, and staff in some…
I thank the Member for the question. The Assembly Commission recognises the importance of a family- and carer-friendly working environment, as it contributes to a healthier, more engaged and more productive workforce. The Assembly Commission's employees can avail themselves of a number of policies, including a hybrid…
I thank the Member for commending the Education Service's work. Many of us have brought schools up from our constituencies, and the children really enjoy the interaction with the Education Service and the opportunity to see round the Building. During the 2024-25 academic year, 7,700 pupils visited Parliament…
I thank the Member for her question. The Education Service provides education programmes and resources to support teaching and learning about the Assembly. It also encourages and facilitates the participation of young people in the work of the Assembly, with education programmes for young people from primary and…
Minister, those are nice, warm words about improving road safety. However, today's court judgement has shown that your party's support and that of others for the climate change policy has had a major impact on that. How do you judge that the impact seen today will affect your work going forward to improve road safety…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline any steps her Department is taking to attract high-quality, long-term investment to Northern Ireland, in particular South Antrim.
Delivering a New Road Maintenance Strategy That this Assembly regrets the declining condition of the road network across Northern Ireland; notes with concern that almost 107,000 potholes were recorded in 2024; further notes the adverse impact a limited road maintenance service has had on our roads over the past ten…
Thank you very much, Minister, for that answer. If I heard you right, you said that it represented a 0·2% increase on what was outstanding, but you did not tell us what percentage of the total amount of rates is outstanding. Given the time that it has taken to get this in order, is it fair to continually make it a…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Justice and the Rule of Law”
Justice and the Rule of Law - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘Policing in Northern Ireland;’ and insert: ‘expresses regret that insufficient resourcing, coupled with the cost of unresolved legacy issues presents risks to public safety, tackling crime effectively and public confidence in the PSNI; notes the impact on…
It would be wrong for the Member to make that point without identifying for many in the Chamber today who Sinclair Mayne is and what position he previously held in the Department.
The Member makes an interesting point about the support. The issue is that, even if they had the financial support, that support means that their inputs will be less. They are being asked to invest money in their farms to bring in less.
Does the Member accept that it is strange that, given that the Minister is responsible for it, it is in his gift and power to take action himself through the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), as opposed to passing the blame on to the Department for Infrastructure over what it is doing?
I join Members in condemning the actions of last night. This time yesterday, we were all aware of one family who were suffering the consequences of what happened in Ballymena. They had a protest last night and were right to do so, as many Members have recognised today, but, as the night unfolded, there were more…
