Assembly Speaker Edwin Poots is not taking action against DUP Education Minister Paul Givan for a comment he is alleged to have made in response to a gay Alliance MLA.
During a heated debate on the provision of relationship and sex education (RSE) last week, Upper Bann MLA Eoin Tennyson said he had felt indoctrinated at school as he had struggled to come to terms with his sexuality.
