On adoption legislation, have the heads of the adoption, tracing and information Bill been approved by the Government? When is the Bill likely to be brought before the House? Similarly, have the heads of the legal aid Bill been approved? Is it intended to bring the Bill before the House in the near future?

The heads of the adoption, tracing and information Bill were approved in July and the Bill is expected to be published next year. The legal aid Bill will be published late next year.
