I thank the Minister for his comprehensive report. With regard to the proposals on the protection of personal data, will the Minister examine proposals on dealing with the prevalence of the use of social media and networking sites to indulge in cyberbullying? We have all seen the awful results of such behaviour. Will he also examine proposals on the inaccurate claims being made on such sites and the use of social networking for inciting hatred or advocating law-breaking? What proposals will the Minister consider? Will legislation be required or does existing legislation cover these issues?
