‹ Order of Business Lobbying and bail legislation
Summary
Bernard Durkan asks about the control-of-lobbying Bill and the bail Bill; the Minister says the relevant Bill is at an advanced stage and is intended for passage before the July recess.
What progress has been made in the preparation of a Bill on the control of lobbying? Has the Bill been discussed? Have the heads been approved and when is the Bill likely to be brought before the House? Similarly, as I would like to keep to the fore, if possible, old friend of mine - the bail Bill - I ask again if it is intended to have it ready to bring it before the House at an early date.
Comment on this
The Bill in question is at an advanced stage of preparation and the intention is to have it before the House in this session, meaning the session that will end in July.
