Mr. Raymond O'Rourke:

I mentioned a memo of understanding, more that even if there is co-operation at an early stage, one would not then want to go to the High Court where they might say "oh you are involved with them" and "who are you?" and that kind of thing. Something being written down is probably good in order that both sides know where they are on the page. I do not know, I have not asked them but I doubt that they are going to be concerned. For a public body it is better to have something clear on paper, particularly in terms of GDPR; that comes into play in everything so it is always useful to have things down on paper. There will possibly be data from consumers and somebody might say that it falls foul of that.
