In my Department work on progressing the preparation of the heads of a Bill to give effect to the legislative elements of the 'Justice for Victims Initiative' which I announced in June of this year is well advanced. While I am unable to give a precise date for submission of the heads to Government at this time, I remain committed to publishing the Bill in the Spring of 2009 and I am confident of achieving that target.
