I move amendment No. 6:

In page 27, lines 5 and 6, to delete all words from and including "Protection," in line 5 down to and including line 6 and substitute the following:

"Protection.".

This amendment seeks to ensure that "such persons as may be prescribed" do not have access to personal information. It is not right that the Government can at some later date include additional people that can have access to personal data. The Minister of State should seriously consider accepting the amendment. The word "protection" would be sufficient. We should avoid inquiring into accessing a person's personal information. It is not right that the Government can at a future date include additional people who can have access to personal data. We need to find a way around that. In this regard, the amendment is worthy of consideration.
