As the Deputy identified, there is no legal entitlement, for the reasons I have already identified. The current practice does go on. I have said that the adoption (information and tracing) Bill will allow for the birth parent and adopted person to enter into arrangements regarding the sharing of information between both parties. I hope this goes all or some of the way towards acknowledging the Deputy's concerns.
