Can I ask whether any work has been done on the legislation that has been promised to provide for the continuing regulation and supervision of the carrying out of insurance and reinsurance business by undertakings that are excluded under the second solvency directive on insurance, which is due to be transposed by 31 March next? When is the Bill in question, which is No. 90 on the Government's legislative programme, likely to come before the House? Will that happen before the end of the current year?

Similarly, has work been undertaken on No. 96, the Bill to provide a scheme to make individual payments to people with severe disabilities as a contribution towards their transport costs where they cannot access public transport? Have the heads been cleared, and will it be brought to the House before the end of the year?
