To answer the Deputy's question about the Public Sector Standards Bill, that goes back to 2015. A lot has moved on since then. As the Deputy will appreciate, the report published by my previous Department looked at the international context and the up-to-date standards in other jurisdictions. That work was important. There is certainly a need to update the 2015 Bill. The new Bill will draw from it but will not be identical to it because it will take account of the outcome of the review carried out by the officials.
