I thank the Deputy for his support on the Digital Hub. He is correct in that it is progressing and work is taking place at the location. The legislation is likely to be brought forward next year. With regard to the Deputy's general point on legislation, all Departments have ongoing legislative work. The Deputy knows better than I do that some legislation is more complex than others as he is here longer than me. Some legislation is prioritised, given a particular requirement that may occur in the Department or in the Government. The Deputy will accept that this Government has always been ambitious and we have demonstrated that over the four and a half years we have been in office. We are trying to ensure that we complete our legislative programme before the term of office finishes. In all likelihood, we will not manage to complete every single piece of legislation that we have aspired to; we will do as much as we can.
