Text
I thank the Minister for giving way. Despite the Minister's assertions that, as a party, we are outsourcing our education policy to Sinn Féin, I think that I was very clear in my comments that, from the Alliance Party's perspective, we are happy to take the advice of the First Legislative Counsel, and I certainly hope that those amendments will be moved on that basis today.
