I appreciate that. The Bill provides for what Mr. Sunderland describes as an unambiguous legal basis for data sharing between public bodies. Can any of the three witnesses articulate exactly what is meant by that? What are the underpinning conditions for an unambiguous legal basis? I have not yet read the legislation as we have not had sight of it. I am taking that on trust. I presume that in order to derive an unambiguous legal basis, one will have to be very prescriptive as to how that is done.

In other words, he will be kicking the tyres to ensure the consumer, whose data are being used, will have the requisite protections built in.
