Written Answers. - Proposed Legislation.
The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2002 contains a number of provisions which have not yet been brought into force, including section 24 which provides for the amendment of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994 to create a new offence of criminal trespass. I propose to make a general commencement order shortly bringing virtually all of the provisions of the Act into force, including section 24.
