The Minister states in his reply that the Bill has not been delayed but on 14 September 2011 it was on the B list with a publication date of early 2012, on 11 January 2012 it was on the B list with a publication date of mid-2012 and on 17 April it was still on the B list with a publication date of late 2012. It is moving on but events outside this House are beginning to catch up with it. The functions are to be transferred to the Minister's Department. When will the Minister assume full responsibility for that element of it? Is there scope or a need for separate legislation or will it still come under the umbrella of the competition and consumer Bill on media mergers?
