Will the companies Bill be dealt with in the current session and will it pass all Stages before the end of the session? I have particular regard to the concerns expressed about non-observance of company law by the retiring Director of Corporate Enforcement.

The companies Bill is expected to be published this session.

Is there a possibility it will pass all Stages before the end of this session?

We must see how it gets on when it is introduced in both Houses.

If it is like the banking debt, it will go a bit further than that.

The Deputy should not be so pessimistic about that.

There will be no seismic shift.
