I have two questions. First, on the right to be forgotten, the documentation states that it depends on the technology and how they can physically go about it. That has arisen frequently here. Does that mean it is being diluted in some way or is the idea that data can be deleted? We all know people put things on the Internet which they regret subsequently and want to remove, but is it physically possible to do that? Is the Internet, which is such a huge area now, out of everyone's control?

Second, I came across the free movement of individuals in the data and the concern of four other countries about that. Will the Minister comment on whether the Commission is talking about putting some restrictions on the free movement of individuals? I note other countries are saying that somebody can be convicted here of an offence and asked to leave the territory but can return almost immediately. Where is all of that heading? It is a serious issue.
