Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

We expect to have somebody in place, and certainly identified, by July, but that depends on if the person has to give notice and so forth. Again, no more than with the policing, security and community safety Bill, there is a detailed project implementation plan relating to the establishment of the regulator. It is a very complex project and complex regulation so there is a lot of work going into that. A team is working on it at present.
