Vol. 473 No. 3
259 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Defence the number of Bills published by his Department in 1996; the comparative figure in this regard for 1993; and the Bills which will be published in the first three months of 1997. [24990/96]
One Bill, sponsored by my Department, was enacted in 1993. No Bill was introduced by my Department in 1996. At present the question of amending the Defence Act, 1954 is under review. It is anticipated that the necessary Bill will be presented to Government early in 1997 for approval.
