I expect to have a general scheme before Cabinet this summer, and as early as possible this summer. This is a priority for me. Unfortunately, Brexit and other things have dominated a lot of time for a lot of our drafters and the likes. I still expect to have safe access and a general scheme of legislation to Cabinet this summer. I look forward to being back here and interacting with colleagues this year. We should aim to pass, which I believe we will, that legislation this year.
