Head 40 sets out to restrict rights and obligations under GDPR. Is the Minister entirely confident, based on that advice, that such a blanket exclusion is compliant with Article 23 of the GDPR? Witnesses before the committee expressed concerns that head 40 might not meet the criteria set down in Article 23. On what basis is the Minister making that assessment? Has the Attorney General provided that advice to him? From where was it got and is it possible to make it available to the committee?
