Text

I thank the Minister for that answer. I have asked about that on multiple occasions, particularly given the lack of openness, transparency and integrity from some Ministers over the past months, especially with regards to the McMonagle affair and child safeguarding. Does the Minister agree that it is really important that we have that new and amended ministerial code in order to give us confidence that we can hold Ministers to account when we have to?
