I move amendment No. 262:

In page 32, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following: "(a) relating to a relevant person,".

This adds to the broader category of a relevant person rather than the section as it stands, which only referred to an adopted person. This is about reassuring relatives on access to information held by relevant bodies regarding that person's relative. Amendment No. 263 works in accordance with this, removing the limitation on information concerning only the adoption of a person and the restriction to records from only the institutions listed in the schedule. As we know, there are many other bodies and organisations involved in illegal adoptions.
