In effect, what I want the Department of justice to do - and it will - is to finish out the legislative proposals it has.

They are very specific proposals. A wider review is needed - I fully agree with the Deputy on that - and I will carry out that wider review. I will not wait for the legislation to be completed to do that. I took the view that to bring that legislation over to our responsibility would simply lead to delays when people had been working on it. That wider review needs to happen.
