My honourable friend the Minister of State for Employment Relations and Postal Services (Pat McFadden) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

A Motion to increase the limit of financial assistance under this Act was resolved in Committee on 17 July 2007. Due to an administrative error, the order was not made until 7 May 2008. It came into force on 8 May. I regret the delay in the completion of this order.
