Motion: Opposition to the British Government's Mandatory Digital ID Scheme

Proposed:

That this Assembly is united in its opposition to the proposal from the British Government to introduce a mandatory digital ID for people here; expresses concern that this flawed proposal could result in the squandering of millions of pounds of public money at a time when public services are increasingly stretched; and calls for an exemption to be put in place so that citizens here are not included, if the British Government proceeds with its ill-considered digital ID scheme.

Motion: Audit and Re-imaging of Memorials

Proposed:

That this Assembly recognises that people should have the right to remember the dead in a respectful, sensitive and dignified manner; acknowledges that this should also be done in a way that avoids causing pain or hurt to others; expresses concern that there are memorials on public land that were erected without lawful authority and include imagery and emblems that can be seen as marking territory and glorifying terrorism; and calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister, in partnership with other Ministers and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, to conduct an audit to assess the number of memorials on public land, to lead a programme of supporting communities to re-image these memorials by removing paramilitary imagery and emblems and references to acts of violence or events that caused pain and misery, and to develop guidance to ensure that future memorials expressly require planning permission and are displayed in accordance with agreed standards.
