I thank the deputy First Minister for her reply. I look forward to seeing those timelines. Will the appointment be regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments?

We have not yet agreed on a timescale for the appointment of the Northern Ireland Climate Commissioner.

That was included in the manifesto on a UK-wide basis, and that is important. Going back to the point that I am making, I have supported the work of the strategic asset management unit because it is there for that exact purpose: making sure that we use land effectively. Why would a public land agency be any different…

I am grateful to the Member for giving way. Is he able to give even just one example of what a public land agency would be able to achieve that the strategic asset management unit that goes live tomorrow will not be able to?

Thanks very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. Having had conversations with members of the press, I know that they might think that that bunker is used for Executive meetings, because they say that there is a lack of information and press conferences after Executive meetings and they are in the dark. Maybe the Executive would…

The Minister has highlighted his pressing on the revitalisation of the Housing Executive, but we have not yet achieved it. Will he expand on the cause of the delay?

Minister, thank you for allowing me in. Is the Minister surprised that, when the Committee for Communities met Northern Ireland Water, it confirmed that housing was not part of its priorities? The only priority is clean water and the provision of it, and NIW has no intention of dealing with housing issues.

I thank the Minister for giving way, and I am sorry that he will not support our motion. Genuinely, we are not too precious about which Department would take it forward, and we have come to him as the Minister responsible for social housing and the Minister who is bringing proposals to the Executive on the disposal of…

Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the mover of the motion and all those who have contributed to the debate, and I welcome the opportunity to respond to it. Through the housing supply strategy and the inclusion of housing as a priority in the Programme for Government, I have provided a renewed focus on…

It is right to highlight, as the motion does, the critical need for social and affordable housing across Northern Ireland. It is commendable that the Minister has a target to deliver at least 100,000 new homes by 2039, with 33,000 of those being social homes, as outlined in the housing supply strategy. However, I have…

I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with much of what she has said, particularly about the right-to-buy scheme. Does the Member recall — she certainly will — that, when legislation was brought in to end the right to buy in housing associations, the SDLP tabled an amendment to extend that to the Housing…

There are lots of figures. The Minister probably has them all in his lines to take, and they do not really change much, to be fair. The areas with the worst housing stress have typically been in North Belfast, West Belfast, Foyle, and Newry and Armagh. Undoubtedly, there are needs across the board, but, in North…

I thank the proposers of the motion. Back in November 2020, Sinn Féin outlined the direction of travel that needed to be taken for our housing, recognising that a good home is one that is affordable, secure and comfortable and the very foundation of the social, physical and mental well-being of our children, young…

When we talk about there being tens of thousands of people on our housing waiting lists, it is important to remember, as other Members have highlighted and as the Minister will no doubt highlight, that they are individuals, families and people, young and old, who are languishing in a housing system that is broken.…

We have a housing crisis in Northern Ireland. That means that more children, families and individuals are living in temporary accommodation — in homelessness — than ever before. The issue of building on public land in Northern Ireland is one of both opportunity and challenge. We know that demand for public housing,…

Most MLAs will say that housing is the number-one reason why constituents contact their offices. That is certainly the case for my North Belfast office, which is contacted particularly by people seeking social housing. We are all aware that housing supply is not keeping pace with demand, not just in Northern Ireland…

I thank the Members who tabled the motion. Sinn Féin believes that housing is a human right. Everyone in our society, no matter their age or the background from which they come, should have access to a decent and affordable home of their own. A home is not just a roof over someone's head; it is fundamental to the…

I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Housing is a fundamental right. It is the foundation on which people build their lives, communities and futures, yet thousands of families across Northern Ireland remain in desperate need of a home while publicly owned land lies idle. The motion provides a…

I detected no voices against the regulations. Everyone sees the value of passing the regulations and of the common recognition of qualifications, in this case in the legal profession, between Switzerland and here. I have nothing to add other than to commend the regulations to the Assembly.

The mutual recognition of comparable qualifications is a welcome step that provides people with the opportunity to move to other countries and gain employment through the skills and experience that they have developed. These specific regulations will enable those who have received legal qualifications in Switzerland…

I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle.

Last Tuesday, I lodged a petition in the Business Office to refer Minister Kimmins's divisive move to the Executive and subject it to a cross-community vote. In order for that petition to be successful, 29 other names are required. Minister Kimmins's decision has caused significant unease amongst unionist MLAs. I…
