The General Scheme of the forthcoming Road Traffic Bill, as approved by the Government for formal drafting, is available on my Department's website, where the Deputy will find details of all the proposed measures. The Bill is currently being drafted by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to the Government and, subject to any additional legal advice being required, is expected to be published shortly.
