Will the Minister of State clarify if he will sign a statutory instrument when the panel of adjudicators is in place? Companies are suffering greatly because of the failure to commence this legislation. Some huge companies do not always pay their subcontractors in a timely manner, causing huge cash flow difficulties for them and companies are working on projects despite having no guarantee of payment. The sooner we have the adjudication process in place, the better. I welcome the appointment of Dr. Nael Bunni, who is highly respected within the construction industry, as well. The sooner everything can be implemented, the better.
