General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Elizabeth Farries:
As I said earlier, we are taking the recommendations on board as a minimum standard and as a reflection of EU law. We could go further. We could raise standards of data protection. That is not within the remit of our submissions today. As I said earlier, the recommendations represent a floor and not a ceiling.
