It’s that stuff that makes the world go round that dominates the early part of today’s agenda with the Finance Minister Sammy Wilson leading two supply resolutions and the first stage of the Budget (No. 3) Bill. The Minister of Social Development Alex Attwood then shepherds the Welfare Reform Bill through its consideration stage.
Finance Minister Sammy Wilson may stick close to the chamber as Question Time sees him back at the dispatch box straight after Environment Minister Edwin Poots fields his oral questions.
It’s a dog ate my homework day on the hill as the Social Development Committee apply for an extension on their scrutiny over the Caravans Bill and the Licensing and Registration of Clubs (Amendment) Bill before the Agriculture Committee follows suit on the Dogs (Amendment) Bill.
Matters are brought to a close with a rather tame OFMDFM committee motion taking note of the Written Ministerial Statement, ‘The Executive’s Priority Measures to Deal with the Economic Downturn.
