Answer
Jim Wells, issued an Executive paper on 6 March 2015 seeking Executive colleagues’ agreement to proceed to public consultation on the draft Adoption and Children Bill. The paper has not yet been tabled for consideration. The timeline for consultation will depend on the outcome of the Executive's consideration. However, I remain committed to moving towards consultation on the Bill within the current mandate.
