Exclusion of Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998
That this Assembly, in accordance with section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the First Minister no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly and that she be excluded from holding office as a Minister or junior Minister for a period of six months because of her failure to observe the terms of paragraph (g) of the Pledge of Office and the first paragraph of the Ministerial Code of Conduct, in that she failed to observe the highest standards of propriety and regularity in relation to the stewardship of public funds surrounding the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme.
