stormont1With all the excitement of the US visit dying down matters in the chamber return to their normal routine with another absence of executive business flowing through. OFMDFM and Regional Development form the basis of question time before the assembly rubber stamps the work of the Committee on Procedures and debates a Employment and Learning Committee motion on widening access to childcare for third level education students.

Matters are concluded by a UUP private members debate on Personal Protection Weapons and an adjournment debate on education in South Belfast by local Alliance MLA Anna Lo.
