Text

I thank the First Minister for her answer. I, too, was really glad to hear the DUP recognise in an earlier debate that employment sustainability is a good first step in tackling poverty. The First Minister said that the 'good jobs' Bill will be the most significant legislation in a generation. Does the First Minister agree with me, therefore, that it is critical that that much-anticipated Bill be brought before the Assembly without further delay?
