I expect the first Bill the Deputy mentioned to be before the Cabinet next week.

The legislation on the Criminal Assets Bureau was before the Cabinet this morning and will be published within the next day or so when the Bills Office has finalised its work on it. Of course, if the justice committee is in a position to engage in pre-legislative scrutiny on it, that will be done. However, we would like the legislation to be dealt with in a timely way and, if possible, enacted before the end of this term. I have been in touch with and will meet the Minister for Justice from the North on Monday morning. I have also spoken to the Minister, Mr. Brokenshire, MP, in the United Kingdom about immigration and security matters and the impact of the vote in the United Kingdom.
