I thank the Minister of State for clarifying the position because I and other Members were not clear as to his intentions in terms of the homeless strategy implementation plan. The second part of that question, and it arises out of the Minister of State's comment that he intends to publish the plan by the end of the year, is when he expects the Bill to be in effect. If he is only publishing the plan at the end of the year, we are talking about February. I presume the Houses will not convene until the end of January and therefore it will be February or March. Will the Minister of State outline to the House when he intends that this Bill will conclude all Stages?
