Text
The deputy First Minister will be aware that the democratic position articulated by the House was to adopt the armed forces covenant in Northern Ireland. It is clear that the First Minister for all's party is blocking the adoption of the armed forces covenant. Will the deputy First Minister join me and the 37,000 veterans across Northern Ireland in making it clear that we will not be second-class citizens and will not be discriminated against by Sinn Féin?
