My question in regard to St. Angela's College arises from the press release from the Minister, Deputy Harris, on 23 November in which he stated that there are a number of issues to be resolved by the respective higher education institutes in terms of completing all of the due diligence processes and centrally by the Government in terms of the delivery of the legislation to provide for legal incorporations of the type envisaged. He stated he expected these to be completed over the coming months. As I know that all of the due diligence has been done, I am querying what has been done in terms of the legislation being delivered. The Bill referenced by the Minister, Deputy Harris, is the Higher Education Authority Bill 2022. I am querying the timeline for its delivery because I understand that this will have to be done by 1 April in order to facilitate St. Angela's College. I am not sure if it affects any of the others.
