Hon. Speaker, all these reports have been completed, adopted by the Committee and tabled in the House. We had one Bill, which is the Anti-Doping Bill 2016. The Second Reading was concluded yesterday and we are waiting for the Committee of the whole House. On legislative proposals, we have seven. First is the Employment Skills Development Legislative Proposal 2016 sponsored by Hon. Aghostinho Neto, Member of Parliament. Domestic Workers Legislative Proposal 2015 sponsored by Hon. Joyce Lay. We are organizing for a meeting with the sponsors of those two proposals so that we can conclude. The Anti-Doping Legislative Proposal 2015 sponsored by Hon. Wesley Korir was concluded, but has been overtaken by events because of the Bill that has been brought by the Government. It has already gone through the Second Reading. The Proposed Presidential National Archives and Records Administration Bill 2015 sponsored by Hon. Kabando wa Kabando MP. We had a lengthy discussion with him for this and he was to come back to us on some proposals that we had committed to him, but he has not yet come back.
