It is still possible to administer electroconvulsive therapy without a patient's agreement or acquiescence. I understand that the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, has given a commitment that legislation will be brought forward before the end of the year to deal with this. Where is that legislation? What Bill will include it?

I welcome the commitment that the Minister for Justice and Equality will bring a memo to Cabinet on the bankruptcy Bill. When will we see the bankruptcy Bill before the House?
