I thank Mr. Holder for his presentation. I have been made aware of some of these issues by the North West Migrants Forum, which has been quite active in raising some of the concerns. As the Chairman said, we must make specific recommendations. I am thinking about non-EU migrants, including asylum seekers and refugees. Much of the information about the impact of all of this is not out there. A number of voluntary groups are doing it. Should this committee make specific recommendations on making those groups that are directly impacted by this aware of some of the challenges?

We have been looking at data and the flow of citizens' data. We might return to it more generally but last week, the European Parliament made a decision where it wanted to ask more questions about the adequacy judgment around the data arrangements between the UK and the EU.

Does Mr. Holder have any specific concerns around the sharing of citizens’ data in the new environment?
