Given the number of stories about the level of crime and corruption hitting the headlines on a daily basis, when will the criminal justice (proceeds of crime) Bill be published? Can it be extended to empower the Criminal Assets Bureau, CAB, to include the new crime wave in the white collar sector?

It is No. 98 on the list. The Bill is intended to strengthen the powers of the CAB in forfeiting the proceeds of the crime. Consultations with the CAB are ongoing and it is not possible to give an indication as to when the Bill will be published.
