I propose to take Questions Nos. 115 and 117 together.

In keeping with the commitment contained in the Renewed Programme for Government , the Government earlier this year reviewed the progress achieved by a number of Government Departments in relation to a list of Competition Authority recommendations which had been prioritised based on their impact on competitiveness. A Government Statement on the progress made issued in April. The Government has decided that it will review, twice-yearly, progress on the implementation of Competition Authority recommendations and, in line with this decision, I will be updating the Government in the coming weeks on the progress achieved to date.
