"As soon as possible" is the most meaningless phrase. Is it the Minister's intention to do it all within six weeks? We are not far off the six weeks because it was launched some time ago. I asked the Minister two specific questions. Will she adhere to the timescale here? Has this report been brought to the Government and has the Government decided to support this report as the basis for a way forward for Moore Street? Everybody wishes to know whether the Government has bought into the work of the committee the Minister established. I give the Minister full credit for setting up the committee. It acted very responsibly and came forward with constructive consensual agreement. Will the chairperson and the new advisory group be appointed within the six week timeframe, give or take a week? Second, has the Government considered the report and has it agreed its response to it, or when will we get that if it has not considered it? These are two specific questions and not only I but also the people who are concerned about this issue, on every side, want specific answers to them.
