As there are ten more Deputies who wish to contribute I ask Members to keep their questions short.

On the apprenticeship Bill, given the urgent need for more qualified apprentices and the fact that some had their training interrupted by the downturn in the economy, when will that Bill come before the House?

When will the bail Bill to do with an issue which has been of considerable concern down through the years and continues to be of concern, particularly in the context of the number of instances of subsequent offences committed by people while on bail, be published?

The heads of the bail Bill are at long last expected before Government shortly. On the apprenticeship Bill, as I said the other day the Minister of State, Deputy English, is currently working on this with SOLAS and the new apprenticeship council and is expected to report to the Cabinet sub-committee on 27 February and to Government on 3 March.
