A number of amendments for inclusion at Committee Stage of the Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2017 are currently being drafted. My Department is currently engaging with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to the Government (OPC) in this regard. These amendments include important measures relating in particular to pensions and data protection. Subject to the additional provisions being finalised, it is expected that the Bill will progress to Committee Stage as soon as possible thereafter.
