The last point that the Deputy made is interesting. A number of local authorities use GDPR in a sense that, maybe, was not envisaged. I would say that section 40 of the Data Protection Act 2018 enables public representatives to engage in certain ways with local authorities but local authorities have not interpreted the legislation in that way. I am interested in hearing the opinion of Dr. Logue on that as he is a local expert on this matter. Did the Deputy address his questions to either witness or both witnesses?
