“Transformation needs to be embedded through a recurrent budget. We are three months into this financial year, at Northern Ireland political speed, and we still do not have a recurrent budget. What steps is the Northern Ireland Office taking to bring about such a financial budget in Northern Ireland?”

“Northern Ireland is home to some innovative carbon capture businesses with real export potential, but many UK clean technologies face a gap between successful pilot innovation and that first commercial deployment. What steps are the Government taking to ensure that high-value opportunities can be scaled, thereby suppor…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for raising that. If I read the Bill right, schedule 8 allows the CQC to carry out investigations into Northern Ireland and Wales, whereas the CQC has no presence or remit within Northern Ireland, because health is devolved and those functions are carried out by the Regulation and Quality…”

“Q15. In a parliamentary Session that started out with a degree of anticipation, a level of expectation and a promise of change, in what could be the Prime Minister’s last Prime Minister’s question time, may I ask him why does he think it went so wrong?

“John, in your earlier answer, you mentioned the £7 million fine that you had applied to suppliers.”

“Sorry. Where does that go?”

“When you said several million, then, what would be the split between formal and informal? What sort of percentage is formal and gets returned to Treasury?”

“In response to Sorcha’s question, the Chancellor yesterday mentioned two support mechanisms over here in terms of £150 per home, and the British industrial competitive scheme.
