I move amendment No. 314:

In page 43, line 28, to delete “if directed by the Authority” and substitute “whether or not it has been directed by the Authority”.

This places a requirement on the data controller to ensure that every effort is made to ensure that all relevant record holders transfer their files to the AAI in order that they can be made available to affected people regardless of whether they have been requested. In particular, we are extremely concerned that individuals who facilitated private and often illegal adoptions will be able to evade their responsibilities under this.
