I propose to take Questions Nos. 196 and 197 together.

A draft report was submitted to me for consideration in recent weeks and this is in line with the Review’s Terms of the Reference. The review was wide ranging and examined a range of issues relevant to the funds sector. As part of my consideration of the draft report, I will consider the exact timing of the publication of the Funds Review. No decision has been taken on that matter as of yet, but I expect to decide in the coming weeks.
