Thank you, Minister, for your important briefing. I welcome the cross-border engagement, particularly on mental health in schools.

Thank you so much, Minister. My question follows on from the previous one, which was on carer's leave. There has been a really low uptake of that leave in GB, where it is already in law. You referenced the research on paid carer's leave, so is there a timeline for that and for any discussions about paid carer's leave…

I welcome the Minister's statement and all the positive aspects contained in it. It is particularly encouraging, Minister, that you intend to introduce paid carer's leave. Do you have any estimate of how much that is likely to cost?

I thank the Minister for her positive statement and announcement today. Her proposals are great news. I really welcome the neonatal care pay. That is important, as you outlined in your statement, for parents who have had that experience of caring for wee babies in a neonatal unit. Will the Minister confirm the rate at…

There is no doubt that there are some positives in the announcement, some of which were detailed in my trade union freedom Bill many years ago. I am happy to have played a part in helping the Department and Minister to make decisions. However, there are gaps already. 'New Decade, New Approach' promised an outright ban…

I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, since the consultation, the general feedback that we have received through the Committee has been that, broadly, the unions have been supportive and, broadly, the business community and its representatives have serious and genuine concerns.

Whilst there are elements of the Minister's statement that will be universally welcomed, she will know that there is huge concern among business stakeholders about the consequences of the proposed Bill.

Yes. The legislation that is passing through Westminster differs in a number of areas from what we are proposing to do. In some cases, it has perhaps clouded some of the engagement that we have been having on our Bill. There are concerns about measures that are in the Bill that is going through Westminster not being…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Minister, we are obviously a party of the left. We believe in workers' rights, and we strongly welcome many of these proposals.
