At this stage five Bills have been referred to the select committee: the one with which we have just dealt, the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill, 2002; the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Bill, 2002; the Unclaimed Life Assurance Policies Bill, 2002, and the Interpretation Bill, 2002. Second Stage of the National Development Finance Agency Bill will be taken this Thursday and the Bill will be referred to the committee soon thereafter. The Minister asks that it make the Bill our priority. A letter to this effect has been circulated. We will not be in a position to set a date until Second Stage is completed, but the Minister asks that we deal with the Bill as quickly as possible.
The Unclaimed Life Assurance Policies Bill extends the dormant accounts legislation to life insurance companies with effect from January next. The Department would like the Bill to be taken as soon as possible. I would like some idea from members as to when we can take the Bills in question. A Supplementary Estimate for a Vote with regard to the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill is possible at short notice. It could be taken next week. If we are meeting next week, it might be possible to take the Unclaimed Life Assurance Policies Bill. What are the views of members?
