There are certain conditions around sharing data and they form part of the agreement. We are satisfied that the purpose of the data relating to Part 15 of the Act concerns the insolvency payments scheme. For example, authorities would need to know the hours worked and the wages. We need certain information to make the necessary payments. I am sure those on the other side need certain information so that workers will get their entitlements. I am satisfied that the data will be used for the purpose for which they are intended.
