  3. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Mr Paul Frew DUP
    • Executive Committee Business

    The Member has put his point on the record with that intervention. I cannot possibly speak on the Minister's behalf. If she wants to address that point, I will give way. If not, I will move on. The Minister said that she had asked for the number of trans people in our prisons currently and in the past, but it could…

  4. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    I thank the Member very much for giving way. I put on record my thanks to you, as Chair of the Committee, for your diligent work throughout the process in setting out the Committee’s position. As somebody who is not on the Committee, I can say that it has certainly been helpful. I listened intently to the Minister’s…

  5. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Mr Paul Frew DUP
    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will start off in that trend and mode of thought by thanking again the Committee Clerk and staff for their diligence and work in supporting the Committee members over the past year and a half. I also thank the Assembly's Bill Office for all its work over that period. I do believe that…

  6. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. For clarity, as the Minister's contribution moves on, am I entitled to try to make an intervention when different facts emerge even though the Minister may not want to accept it? Am I still entitled to ask the Member to give way?

  8. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Minister is misrepresenting what my amendment sets out to do. I will repeat it for the record: "where the Department considers it necessary to do so to safeguard the welfare or dignity of a prisoner, provided that the arrangements do not include the accommodation of a man"…

  15. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    Thank you, Minister. For my understanding, would you be comfortable with the idea of a biological male being accommodated on a female prisoner wing and having free association with the female prisoners on that wing, or is that something that you would seek to avoid and rule out?

  18. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    The Minister has been part of the Assembly for some time, and this is her second mandate as a Minister, so I wonder whether she can provide clarity on whether, during that time, such outspoken concerns were expressed about the safety of women prisoners as vociferously and passionately as they have been in recent…

    • Mrs Naomi Long Alliance

    • As a minister

    I will start by addressing the amendment tabled by Messrs Frew, Bradley and Kingston and then speak to the amendment tabled by Timothy Gaston. Mr Frew described amendment No 96 as stopping prisoners and young people in detention centres being released on a Friday or on the day before a public or bank holiday and added…

  23. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    Thank you very much, Minister, for your intervention. I will sleep better tonight, knowing that you are not holding anything against me. I will draw my remarks to a close finally. To avoid being sidetracked, I am not minded to take any more interventions. I know that there are Members sitting on the Benches to my left…

  24. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Mrs Naomi Long Alliance
    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    In the main, the debates in the Chamber on the Justice Bill have been reasonable, temperate and good-humoured. This is the first time, however, that somebody has accused me of taking a policy position based on dislike of a Member. I do not know what kind of vindictive person would imagine that any Minister or, indeed,…
