Speeches by Hanna.

“Will the shadow Minister acknowledge that no party and no victims’ group in Northern Ireland supports the Conservative party’s approach to the past, and that even the Dillon judgment last week did not in any way rule it legal? Would he not agree that soldiers following the rule of law is a matter of recruitment, too? N…”

“I just want to ask about the targeting. We are really glad that the Executive brought forward a package. I have to say, as the opposition, we spent six weeks saying that they should bring forward a package, and they said that that was only for London, and we were just writing letters to London. It is good that it is th…”

“It is an energy mix, and I do not think that anybody is suggesting that we can or will transition because of the mix, although, clearly, there are opportunities to better plan the use of energy close to renewable sources, as is happening, if you are taking a more strategic look. I hear from businesses all the time abou…”

“Overall, the geopolitical instability is a feature now, and particularly the volatility that we are particularly exposed to. We discussed briefly the ground-level adaptations that people can have access to in order to make their home a little bit more efficient, but, at the macro level, we need to transition to more su…”

“Could I ask you about the fuel poverty strategy, which was launched in February, with various commitments and targets? Are you confident that that is funded and is going to be a set of promises that is going to be kept? As stakeholders, are you being engaged in how that will be delivered?”

“We have been here before, and we get really good strategy documents that are then not matched up with funding. Warm, healthy homes, if delivered and realised, would be transformative and make individual households more energy-secure or at least efficient. Are you confident about the delivery of that and it being transl…”

“I suppose that my point is that they are not being made. My mother-in-law has all her energy stuff on her phone, and she can decide when to plug things in, which is allowing the grid and the energy mix to be more sustainably used. We seem to be years away from doing that, and I do not have a sense of progress. I do not…”

“I do not think that people want to quibble on numbers, but Ellie Flanagan and Amy Doherty became the 29th and 30th women killed since 2020. The comparable figures for England, for example, show that we have a femicide rate that is almost twice that of the island next door and certainly of the south. I think that we are…”

“One of the lingering legacies of violence in Northern Ireland is our outrageous and distressing levels of violence against women and girls, in the echo of menace and threat that still exists in Northern Ireland. The murders this month of Ellie Flanagan and Amy Doherty bring to 33 the number of women and girls who have …”

“I thank the hon. Member for all her efforts on behalf of victims of the troubles and others. This is a chance to put in place accountability mechanisms that we should have put in place decades ago, particularly for those who do not have a judicial pathway. Families in Derry know what happened in their city on Bloody Su…”

“Do you see a link between online abuse and a lack of consequence for that? Do you see a higher level of that in Northern Ireland that would correlate with the higher levels of violence?”

“Minister, my colleague is going to pick up with you actions that the UK Government are taking to keep people safe online, but I wanted to ask about your assessment of online violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland, links you see between the online and offline worlds, and the statistics that you have spoken…”

“It is longevity, but is the education and the things that we are doing in schools now with young people a big part of the strategy? That is what I am trying to say.”

“You mentioned education. Obviously education policy is devolved. Are there are there good practices on relationships and sexual education that you think are useful in tackling this issue that maybe are not in place in Northern Ireland? Is that something you have had an opportunity to explore?”
