§ Mr. David TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress is being made on the introduction of Limited Liability Partnerships legislation. [93794]
§ Mr. Ian McCartneyThe Government are fully committed to introduction of the Limited Liability Partnerships Bill as soon as possible. I am aware that the professional business community are keen to see progress on this, and I can assure them that the Bill will be introduced as soon as the Parliamentary timetable permits. To assist business, and to enable them to see the Bill as we expect it to come before the House, we will publish it in draft for a second time shortly, alongside revised draft regulations, which are being published to show changes made as a result of consultation last September.
