Mr. Paul Collins:

I will come in quickly on the issue of the Integrated Education Bill. The Bill has passed through the first consideration stage and will go through second consideration stage. All the amendments are being pulled together and are now on the Assembly website. Minor tweaks will be discussed on 7 and 8 February. It will be debated and agreed over two days. It will then come back for a final vote. We have our fingers crossed that it will cross the line before the deadline.

I will come back on the question of polls. That 71% is reflective of an overall trend. I will quote another set of statistics. A Sky News poll in March 2018 showed that 69% of people believed that every school in Northern Ireland should be integrated. While the trend is definitely on the up, there seems to have always been an interest in, and desire for, schools to become integrated.
