I thank the Deputy. I do not have the details with me, so I will come back to her in writing on that point. It is very fair. It is important that we understand the position. My Department is highly focused on the implementation of key legislation like this. I have seen that where there is a little bit of political will behind something, we can move the ratification of an optional protocol reasonably quickly. We were able to do that with the disability one. I will ask my officials to start to reach out to other Departments and take the steps so that an interdepartmental group could be established rapidly.

Whoever is in this role next could look to progress that rapidly. We will come back to the Deputy in writing on the information campaign.
