I hope that, from my correspondence with the committee to date, it is clear to members that there is no need for such a duty because I am fully committed to keeping the committee up to date on progress.
The bill as introduced provided an eligibility date for next-of-kin payments of 17 November 2016, which was the date on which I announced to Parliament a commitment to formal consultation on redress.
However, as a final point, I think it strange that, given that peat will have no market value after a certain date, there should be concern about potential compensation.
However, I will deliberate on them and I will come back to members at a later date, either in writing or in the chamber.I take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy recess.
We have had a number of petitions around the same broad issue, so we have tried to work out which petitions we can consider prior to the recess and which might be dealt with afterwards.
