Given that the schedule for the publication of the Bill was greatly delayed - this is no criticism of any officials because it is not the officials' fault - I suspect that if we get a copy of the enactment schedule, I will be reminding the Minister of State, if he is still in government in a year or two years' time, of the delays in meeting that. Nevertheless, given that there is going to be an enactment schedule and some of the elements of this Bill are going to be enacted over time, there is no reason a requirement for language impact assessment could not be put in at various points in this Bill. Then, once the methodology for undertaking those is agreed by way of regulation, put them on the statute. I am going to press the Minister of State on amendments Nos. 603, 647 and 890.
