I take it the Bill will be published on Friday week, which is not too far away. This is welcome, assuming that the Government will approve it. I thank the Minister for the information on what will be included in the Bill. I take it that it will contain the provisions put to the previous committee on which none of us, except possibly the Chairman, was a member. Will the Minister confirm this? Some people may be concerned about the removal of the section on intercountry adoptions, but the Minister has said she will be bringing forward discrete legislation to deal with that issue. We all want the legislation to take on board the views and experiences of those who have been waiting for it for a long time. On the assumption that the Bill will be published, I will withdraw the amendment. I do not know when Report Stage will be taken, but I may make a different decision at that stage.
