9:00 am

According to the general scheme a ministerial order would be required to retain the data and then judicial authorisation would be required for it to be released to the relevant statutory body. While the Minister would order the retention of data, judicial authorisation would be required for access to this data. Does the witness think that these steps offer adequate safeguards against the possible abuse of the process?
