On promised legislation, I wish to inquire into the proposal to bring to the House as early as possible the retention of records Bill, which covers the commission on child abuse, the residential redress board and the Residential Institutions Review Committee. Their records are important, given the subject matters concerned. Have its heads been discussed and when is the Bill likely to be before the House?

The adoption (tracing and information) Bill will provide for an information and tracing service to applicants seeking information about adoptions on a statutory basis. This is equally important promised legislation. Is it anticipated to be before the House at an early date and, if so, when?
