I thank the Member for that intervention, but he has absolutely not been maligned. It is a statement of fact that, in 2021, the Ulster Unionist Party was talking about a union of people and rights for LGBT people. Under Jon Burrows's leadership, that is no longer the case because that party has followed a more…
It is really disappointing that I presented a very forensic analysis of a very flawed Bill that does not withstand penetrating scrutiny, with problem after problem, to which the Member could only reply, "Well, that is not the intent, but it was not in law". I gave specific examples of bad law. It is really…
The Member and I have been blessed this evening in having a lack of interventions. Members may just be getting fed up with some of it. On that point, how is the Member assured that that would not be the case? How does he ensure that somebody in that circumstance cannot be considered to be a victim? What does that mean…
I thank Members for their contributions, most of which were thoughtful and constructive, although there were a couple of notable exceptions. All were certainly lively.

I do so on the basis that, although we are discussing the lawfulness of things under the Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill, we cannot challenge the lawlessness of…

I understand the wish to enact legislation like this to ensure that people do not abuse people or force them to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. On the face of it, that seems to be a worthy objective. However, that does not mean that it can or should be turned into criminal law. Attempting to do so…
I did not hear what Mr McCrossan said from across the Chamber, but I am sure that it was very cheeky, so I am just going to ignore him. If he wants to make an intervention, he can. Behave yourself. Come on now, Daniel. Sorry, that is your job, Mr Deputy Speaker. Throw him out. Just throw him out.
