That is a fair question. We will be obliged to consider this matter, particularly in the context of which legislation might be enacted first. I am advised that the Bill before us will be enacted first and that when the other legislation is passed, all the approved housing bodies will be brought under the remit of the PRTB. It is a question of timing. The intention is that the legislation with which we are dealing today will be enacted before the summer recess - thereby facilitating the introduction of HAPs - whereas the other Bill may not be disposed of by that time.
