I rise as a DUP member of the Committee for Communities, along with my colleague Maurice Bradley and further to the Budget briefing that we received at the Committee on 8 May. We note with concern that the allocation to the Department for Communities for the new financial year has left a shortfall compared with the…

I rise to make some remarks on the final Budget for 2025-26 as the Alliance Party member on the Committee for Justice. The process of setting a Budget for any Government is not necessarily straightforward, with competing pressures between and within each Department, particularly in the knowledge that prioritising one…

I thank the independent Member of the DUP for giving way. I find his remarks absolutely fascinating: I would nearly welcome him to this side of the House, because it looks like he is reading from our hymn sheet. Given what he has said to the House, does the Member agree that the history and legacy of this Executive…

I rise to speak in yet another Budget debate. I do not know if I am being punished, but I end up speaking on all finance-related matters, including the Budget. I must have been a bad boy in another life or in another guise. My heart goes out to the Minister, as this is a set-piece Budget debate in which Chairs of…

I thank the Member for giving way. She raises a very important point. Does she agree that it is entirely short-sighted of the Department for the Economy and its Minister to burden university graduates with extra debt when they are expected to try to get on to the property ladder, start a family and perhaps settle into…

As we debate the Budget, I recognise the fact that having a Budget and a Programme for Government in place is in itself progress. In most democracies, it is standard. In Northern Ireland, it cannot ever be taken for granted. While the Budget is a step forward in process, it is not a step forward in ambition. We face…

Like Mr Donnelly, I welcome the Budget, realising that it is not everything that we may have asked for or wanted but that it is a significant platform from which to move forward for our health service. I also welcome the additional £50 million for waiting lists and the ring-fencing of the £215 million. Those are…

I will reflect on the 2025-26 Budget through the lens of health, which is a subject that affects every person and family across Northern Ireland. I begin with a welcome but also with some realism. The Budget arrives against a backdrop of sustained austerity from Westminster in a period of rising inflation and growing…

I thank the Minister for outlining the details of the Budget. I begin by recognising the ongoing efforts of the Finance Minister to prioritise the delivery of public services in challenging financial circumstances due to increasing costs and the British Government's continued policy of austerity. Funding to reduce…

Despite all the spin from the rigorous implementation Minister, Northern Ireland remains fully under the EU's customs code, with regulation (EU) 2017/625 treating GB as a third country and Northern Ireland as EU territory, with the damaging Brussels border still in place. Does the Minister seriously believe that a…

Does the Minister recognise that the UK internal market is and always has been the largest marketplace for Northern Ireland businesses? Therefore, we must judge any change by how it improves access to that market and undoes the damage done by the Northern Ireland protocol. I ask the Minister specifically whether he…

There is no denying that today's announcement certainly shows progress out of some of the mess of Brexit. What will the SPS agreement mean for people and businesses in Northern Ireland?

I thank the Minister for his lively update to the House this afternoon. Given the Minister's self-purported involvement in the process, can he update the House on whether he secured the removal of pet passports, which create the ridiculous situation where domestic pets moving from GB into Northern Ireland require…

Minister, like me, you have been intrigued to hear the DUP rail against a deal that appears to start addressing many of the issues that it has railed against, which were caused by the Brexit that it championed in the first place. Minister, we can still benefit, hopefully while mitigating some of the east-west…

Given that Brexit and the Windsor framework were certainly mis-sold, has there been overstatement and hyperbole about this agreement between the UK Government and the EU? Industry experts are now saying that it is tantamount to an agreement to agree, and a lot of the stuff that has been promised has not actually been…

It is interesting to hear that the Minister got a round of applause from farmers in Oxford, because he is certainly not getting one in Northern Ireland, where farmers continue to feel the full force of his environmental extremism. Given the Minister's desire to break down barriers after the years that were spent…

Like other members of the AERA Committee, I know something of the effort that the Minister has made with the UK Government, and, indeed, with the EU, on these matters. What help might be provided from the announcement to assist us with making progress on climate and on the environment more generally?

The Minister says that he is solution-driven, but the reality for the Minister, and, indeed, for all the rigorous implementers, who seem to be out in force today, is that they cannot provide any solutions. The solutions that they think are the right ones are actually made in Brussels, and we are the rule takers. Is…

On the sausages bit, Minister, I do not know whether you have received any news from the MP for East Antrim yet or any white smoke or anything. We will maybe get a positive from him. Seriously, going back to alignment on SPS checks, Minister, how do you see that, in light of our unique position under the Windsor…

Minister, with the removal of export health certificates and other routine checks coming into Northern Ireland, businesses will no doubt see a reduction in costs, but when will we see the current checks stopping?

Although today's agreement will remove barriers to the movement of seeds, plants, food products and live animals between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the grave threat that continues to loom large is with the supply of veterinary medicines.
