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.
Mr Clarke asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, following on from a previous question about the leafy suburbs of South Belfast, where residents have problems with the bins, and noting that, as the Minister's colleague will know, there are similar problems with the bins in South Antrim, and…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any (i) short-term; and (ii) long-term, plans for the Muckamore Abbey site, particularly for the unused or unutilised buildings.
To ask the Minister of Education to outline his Department’s plans for Straidhavern Primary School, which closed at the end of the 2024/25 academic year.

Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline the percentage of farm support payments that were made within his Department’s own target timescales in the last scheme year.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the amount her Department has spent on consultation fees on footpaths for active travel, in each of the last five years.
Minister, you have referred in your responses to pressure on finances. How can you then justify the amount of money that you spend on consultants for the likes of active travel, when people just want basic things such as pothole repairs. I will give you an example. In my constituency, they are building a footpath from…
I thank the Minister for that answer. However, it did not really answer my question about value for money. It is not good enough to suggest that CPD is in full cost recovery. I have been a member of the Commission in this Building for some time, and I am not speaking on behalf of the Commission. My concern is that,…
CPD operates on a full cost-recovery basis for its procurement and project delivery services under an agreed memorandum of understanding with its clients. The hourly charges for its services are published on the website and are in line with 'Managing Public Money'. CPD's clients are provided with estimates of fees at…
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. Will she agree that, as America is the largest economy in the world, as she has indicated, it is most important to amplify Northern Ireland at every opportunity, regardless of who presides in the White House?
Quite often, people look back at past events. I am glad that the Infrastructure Minister is in the Chamber, because I want to talk about past events for the people of Massereene Street and the Riverside area in Antrim who had their houses flooded last week. Since I came to office in 2007, those houses have been…
I thank the Minister for that answer. Like many Members, my office is inundated with people who require houses. Indeed, every night, on my journey home, I pass six ex-council houses, two or three of which are now privately owned and three of which have been vacant for more than two years. People come into my office…
I thank the Minister for his response. You said that that was part of your first-day brief. From your response to a previous question, it seems that it is only now that you are setting up a system to track the length of time that the process takes. Do you believe that that is good enough, given that that was in your…
Mr Clarke asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs when he first became aware of a problem with his Department's response times to the planning consultation process, given its commitment in that regard, which was the subject of a previous question.
