Legislation relating to construction contracts in Northern Ireland closely mirrors similar legislation in Great Britain. Following amendments to the GB Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, the Department of Finance and Personnel has introduced the Construction Contracts (Amendment) Bill to maintain parity. Following its Second Stage in the Assembly on 17 May 2010, the Bill was referred to the Committee for Finance and Personnel for Committee Stage. During the evidence sessions with the departmental officials the Committee sought clarification on a number of matters including the impact of the House of Lords judgement in the case of Melville Dundas vs. Wimpey. On this and other matters the Department provided detailed responses to which the Committee was content. No responses were received to the Committee's public call for evidence. In conclusion there were no concerns raised during the Committee Stage with any of the provisions in the Bill and the Committee is content with the Bill as drafted
