I propose to take Questions Nos. 469 and 470 together.
The decentralisation implementation plans for my Department and three of the bodies under its aegis were completed within or close to the time limit set and these have been submitted to the decentralisation implementation group. One of the remaining two plans has just been received in my Department and I expect to receive the remaining plan before the end of this week. I understand the delay in completion is due to the need to finalise some details.
