Danny Kinahan (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim)
Question
to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of the UK leaving the EU on cross-border trade in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Ben Wallace
As the Prime Minister has made clear, the United Kingdom will be stronger, safer and better off by remaining in a reformed European Union.
This includes Northern Ireland, where UK membership of the EU helps ensure a stable and secure relationship for trade and investment within the Union and in particular with its largest export partner, the Republic of Ireland.

Written Question
Tuesday 24th November 2015
Asked by:
Danny Kinahan (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim)
Question
to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what proportion of the funding of £500 million for shared schooling in Northern Ireland is expected to come from her Department's budget.
Answered by Ben Wallace
In the ‘Stormont House Agreement’ signed on 23 December 2014, the UK Government agreed a contribution of up to £500m over 10 years of new capital funding to support shared and integrated education, subject to individual projects being agreed between the Executive and the UK Government.
In the recent ‘A Fresh Start: the Stormont Agreement and Implementation Plan’ the UK Government agreed a number of further flexibilities to the funding commitments contained in the ‘Stormont House Agreement’ including that capital funding for shared and integrated education can be used to support shared housing projects, with individual projects to be agreed by the UK Government.
This funding to the Northern Ireland Executive will come from Her Majesty’s Treasury through the Northern Ireland Office.

Northern Ireland (Welfare Reform) Bill
"Not at the moment.
Was it a case of, “Any deal will do,” perhaps to keep the Prime Minister happy or, more importantly, to fit in with the First Minister’s resignation and glorification at his party conference last weekend? That is deeply worrying.
Some five weeks ago I spoke about …..."Danny Kinahan - View Speech
