Mr. Simon McGarr:

We have an analogy from the data protection regime for Europe. There are two classes of data: personal and sensitive personal data.

Sensitive personal data is given additional protections over and above personal data. What has happened is that the EU has also recognised that there are communications that are particularly sensitive and require particular protections. Those communications have been set out in jurisprudence. I think they have been set out in legislation at EU level. If my memory serves me, in terms of the full list, the EU recognises communications between trade union officials and their members, communications between lawyers and their clients and communications between journalists and their sources. I feel there is a fourth one but it does not spring to mind.
