I propose to take Questions Nos. 55 and 56 together.
One piece of legislation where heads have been approved by Government is in preparation – the Bill to place the National Economic and Social Council and the National Economic and Social Forum on a statutory footing. It is anticipated that the Bill will be published in late 1999.
The declaration under Article 29.7 of the Constitution (Extension of Time) Bill, 1999, was approved by Government yesterday and will be published this week.
There are no further proposals for legislation being prepared under the auspices of my Department where heads have not yet been approved by the Government.
