What is the current position with the Adoption (Tracing and Information) Bill? What is the schedule for its process through the House? Also, has the important Geothermal Energy Development Bill been approved by the Cabinet for publication? Similarly, what is the position with the proposed insurance Bill to provide an alternative statutory regime for insurance companies not covered by the Solvency II directive?

I hope the adoption tracing legislation will be dealt with this year. The geothermal Bill is scheduled for later this year. A huge amount of work has been done on the Minerals Development Bill and we hope to see it within a reasonable period of time. I do not have a date for the insurance Bill.
