Mr. Lowry might comment also on the questions I asked in relation to the Data Protection Bill which is currently before the Houses. I refer to the exemptions and the fact that a Minister only need consult with the Office of Data Protection Commissioner. As we have seen in the case of the PSC, when the Data Protection Commissioner has raised concern it was followed with an advertisement campaign rather than with a reduction in concern. I also asked about the current data sharing arrangements between DPER and the Office of Data Protection Commissioner.
