I propose to take Questions Nos. 496 and 514 together.

EU Directive 2004/18/EC co-ordinating procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts and EU Directive 2004/17/EC co-ordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors are required to be transposed by 31 January 2006. Work is advanced on the drafting of the Statutory Instrument that is necessary to transpose these directives. When that draft order is cleared by the parliamentary counsel and is submitted to me, I will be considering the matter further.
