Ms Geraldine Moore:

Yes, because the data the Minister will order to be retained will be targeted data and consist of certain sub-sets of data. The Minister will give great consideration to making the order on the data, and will only do so if he considers it to be proportionate. On the judicial authorisation, the judge making the authorisation will have to be satisfied that the authorisation is for valid purposes, including for the investigation of an offence. The criteria for such considerations is set out in the legislation. We believe that the targeted retention and judicial authorisation will work well together as a process.
