I welcome the themes and the publication of the Bill. I also welcome the pre-legislative scrutiny process, which is very important. We get to consult widely, which is great.
Ms Maguire, in her opening statement, mentioned the possibility of a second Bill later this year. When will we see that? Will it be the back end of the year? Is there a timeline for its publication?
