The first issue relates to climate change legislation.

Will that legislation be published in conjunction with the sectoral plans or will those plans precede it? When is the legislation likely to be published and when is it hoped it will be enacted?

The legislation associated with Construction 2020 is due this session. There are, however, two other Bills on the C list, the first of which relates to the regulation of builders and the second to consumer protection, and I am seeking to discover whether it is likely that their introduction will be brought forward. If we are going to accelerate activity in the area of construction, then at the very least there should be a different set of standards in place. Is it likely that the introduction of the two Bills to which I refer will be expedited?
