I appreciate the Member's giving way. I do not share all of his analysis — I do not come from exactly the same place as him politically or economically — but, given what he is saying, the two alternatives are greater fiscal powers for the Northern Ireland Executive, which I do not think that he wants, or, perhaps, an…

Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. First of all, I applaud and welcome the one voice that has been shown here today. Despite the leader of the Opposition's defeatist attitude, I think that we are all aware of the damage that the tax raid will do to every sector and every business in this country. Every one of…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will try my best to be quicker than that. Today, we must all think about why the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, brought these changes forward in her Budget. Certainly, she believes that raising £24 billion to fund public services will add funds to a stretched health service. That makes…

I thank the Member for giving way. Part of the reason why the UK's public finances are in such a difficult climate is low growth and low productivity. Given that fact, surely the Member recognises the importance of the UK's returning to the single market to boost trade and boost headroom for investment in public…

Members, it is important to remember that National Insurance is only part of the tax burden to fall upon employers. It is shocking that the Labour Government have chosen to reduce the threshold to £5,000, meaning that the vast majority of people with a part-time job will end up with their employer now paying 15%…

It was hoped by some that, with the election of a Labour Government, things could only get better. We were told that that Government would deliver a Budget that would be about growth and investing in the long-term future of the United Kingdom. Despite their whopping majority, they have presided over cuts and chaos.…

I am happy to speak to the motion, which we will support. Like others in the Assembly, we recognise the negative and damaging impact that the increase in employer National Insurance contributions will have on our public sector and on those bits of the community and voluntary sector and private sector that help to…

I thank the proposer of the motion. Like others, I support it.

I am in favour of the motion. Increased National Insurance contributions will put an additional strain on our local businesses, our public-sector employers and, critically, our community and voluntary sector, as has already been stated, especially at a time when they are already struggling with rises in inflation, the…

Thank you, Deputy Speaker. You may be relieved to know that I do not intend to take the full 10 minutes to propose the amendment. During the last general election campaign, Alliance warned of the real and pressing challenges that the UK's public finances faced after 14 years of Conservative rule. We also, however, set…

I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I move the motion with huge concern for what is about to hit us on 1 April 2025. Since the Labour Government came to power over our United Kingdom last year, they have acted unpredictably and with incredible detriment to so many of us. First, it was their shocking removal of…

I thank the Member for his intervention. I will come on to that in a moment, and I will also touch on something that Mr Dickson talked about when he mentioned double diagnosis. That is when one goes to a GP and then to an ED. Is that second diagnosis really necessary? To repeat, the moral injury that staff are feeling…

It is a really quick point. Given the agreement that there is in the Chamber about the problems at the back door, and at the front door as well, the mere fact that patients are remaining in an ambulance and are not in the emergency department means that a form of triage is taking place to say that they are the least…
