I have a general question. The Data Protection Commission believes the Department is in breach of section 2A of the Data Protection Act and so forth. There are three legal issues where the Data Protection Commission suggests the Department is in breach. The Minister's legal advice is that the Department is not and she has sought that advice. Has the Minister, at any stage, with her officials, considered amending that legislation to bring better clarity to it to address the issues of concern to the Data Protection Commissioner?
