I propose to take Questions Nos. 131 and 132 together.

In accordance with the advice of the Attorney General, copies and, in some cases, extracts of the Dalton Report were sent to persons referred to in the report on a confidential basis to afford them an opportunity to submit observations on the report to me by the close of business on 31st May 2006. A total of nine submissions were received by that date and these have been made available to Mr Dalton for the purposes of finalising his report. Following the receipt of the report from Mr. Dalton, I will present proposals to my Cabinet colleagues for dealing with the recommendations made in the "Dalton Report" including seeking the approval for the publication of the Report.
