David Norris (Independent)

We have an international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights. This will protect the homeless, the people who are now wandering the streets looking for somewhere to live. What about them in all this economic theory? We signed this international covenant but we have not signed the protocol that was agreed in 2008, so there is no method of enforcement. If we are serious about the welfare of our citizens, I ask the Leader to plead with the Government to sign this protocol.
