In the light of what the Minister has said and with a view to retabling the amendments on Report Stage if there is nothing forthcoming, I will withdraw amendment No. 58.
On amendment No. 59, there is a definition and the Act was referenced. I do not have it to hand, but I am not necessarily clear on what harm would be done if the words "contained in a record" were not included or there was a broader view on the information on a person that might be owned by a data processor or any organisation. For the avoidance of doubt, it seems that there is sense in simply stating all information, whether in what might be defined as a record or not, will be contained. I will consider it, but I am happy to withdraw amendment No. 58.
