I thought for an awful moment there that the Deputy was going to ask me to name them all off. They are already enacted. It is legislation currently on the Statute Book that has just moved from the old Department to the new one. I have a list which I will give to the Deputy. He need not panic. They are not new pieces of legislation that have to come before us. We have enough to be doing for the next couple of months anyway.

The employment Bill is very close to being ready to present to Cabinet. I have made a commitment that it will be presented before Christmas. If I can expedite that, we will have a real opportunity to get it to Second Stage before Christmas. It will definitely be published before Christmas.
