Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (14 Nov 2023)

Thomas Pringle: ...commission took an overly conservative position on the changes to constituency boundaries.

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Budget Statement 2022 (12 Oct 2021)

Thomas Pringle: ...healthcare services and the eradication of homelessness is actually achievable, despite decades of governments telling us differently.

Northern Ireland: Statements (3 Nov 2015)

Thomas Pringle: ...and dealing with information in respect of events that took place over the years of the Troubles.
