Vol. 548 No. 2
352 Mr. Noonan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his Department's legislative programme for the first half of 2002; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4086/02]
I refer the Deputy to the press release on the Government's legislation programme issued by the Office of the Government Chief Whip on 29 January 2002. That programme includes details of Bills currently before the Houses, Bills expected to be published during the spring session and also other Bills which are currently under preparation. The programme is, of course, without prejudice to any further proposals for legislation which I might bring forward for Government approval in the period in question.
