The criminal law (sexual offences) Bill is promised legislation, the purpose of which is to provide for presumptive minimum sentences for repeat sexual offenders. The pre-legislative scrutiny has not been determined yet. Is it possible to give some indication as to when that might be completed and when the Bill would come before the House?

That is important legislation. It is one of a number of pieces of legislation in the criminal justice area that is at an advanced state of preparation. I would be happy to liaise directly with the Deputy as regards indicative timeframes, but that is subject to the work of the Business Committee here in the House.
