At a time when the Assembly and the Executive have been widely ridiculed for failing to produce legislation, does the Minister agree that, regardless of any party's position on MUP, it is a gross abuse of political power for one party to single-handedly veto legislation that would undoubtedly have changed and saved many lives by preventing it from even coming to the Chamber for debate and scrutiny? Has the Minister heard one compelling argument from the Democratic Unionist Party as to why the legislation should not proceed?
