There is a body of work being done on that. Specifically, we have made contact with the committee regarding some of the work that is to unfold on the general scheme of the equality Bill. I appreciate that the committee has contacted the Department to say that it has a full schedule in terms of prelegislative scrutiny here and asked that it be extended out. I also want to acknowledge that there was some miscommunication and I apologise for that. In terms of the specific request, I recognise that prelegislative scrutiny is hugely important so I am of a mind to agree to that.
