There is promised legislation to provide for the establishment of technological universities to amend the previous Acts. Have the heads of the technological universities Bill been cleared by Cabinet and when is it likely to come before the House? Is it likely to be passed into law in this session?

Similarly, a climate action and low carbon development Bill has been promised. When is it due to come before the House and has it been fully cleared by Cabinet?
