I propose to take Questions Nos. 62 and 63 together.

My Department has not initiated any legislation since I came into Office.

In the event that legislation is prepared, the officials concerned with the preparation of the legislation would, if required, undertake Regulatory Impact Analyses and Poverty Impact Assessments in accordance with the relevant guidelines.
