I am glad the Minister for Justice is here because I am returning to the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017. The Department and the Government were under statutory duty to have an independent review of it in 2020. Four years later, that review has not been carried out and since then a decision has been made to depart from an independent review and have the Department's data and research unit do that. I have serious reservations about that. Is the Department on track now to have that completed in autumn, as a previous reply said? Will the review be published, and can the Minister give us a date?

I appreciate that this has gone on longer than anybody would like. We are on track to have this done by autumn. The report will be published in time. The reason we had to move it back to officials within the Department is because of the changes that had to take place. The independent person who had been appointed was not finishing it. There was then a tender set out to look at other potential options, none of which were satisfactory, so my Department has taken it on to make sure it is completed. A huge body of the work had been done. I assure the Deputy that the work is still on track and that the review will be published.
