I move amendment No. 317:

In page 44, to delete line 18.

Amendment No. 317 seeks to remove the provision that bodies holding information should only preserve information they hold on the day the section comes into operation. Again, this is a limitation as bodies may subsequently come into new information and will be under no obligation under this section to maintain those records.

Amendment No. 318 places the obligation on other individuals and bodies to transfer records to the authority. There are a significant range of actors outside of those listed as information sources. This amendment recognises that information may be held by additional individuals or bodies and ensures records held by them will be transferred to the authority.
