Do the witnesses think that the number of designated officers in each statutory body should be limited? It is recommended in the Murray report that only a limited number of designated officers in statutory authorities should have authority to request disclosure of retained data, particularly as training in privacy and proportionality should be required in order for someone to act as a designated officer. Also, should this training in privacy and proportionality for designated officers, or anyone who might access retained data, be stated in the legislation?
