I propose to take Questions Nos. 149, 154 and 155 together.

I expect that consideration of the extended list of public bodies to be brought under the aegis of freedom of information during 2005 will be finalised in the coming weeks. I do not propose to make a further statement about individual bodies, pending the publication of the details of the extension.
