Written answers

While drafting of the Employment Permits (No. 2) Bill 2003 has been completed by my Department and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, I have asked for further work to be done on a number of legal issues arising. In the meantime, work on examining the draft Bill is continuing within my Department. I am most anxious that this Bill, which seeks to put the instruments of economic migration on a sound statutory basis, be published before the end of this session and that the outstanding issues be resolved as expeditiously as possible.
