General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dale Sunderland:
I would like to briefly make one further point in response to the comments from Deputy Cairns. Part of the question under head 2 is whether the data is personal data, and that is part of the consideration here. Some information about family members may not necessarily be what is termed "mixed data" and a relevant body may hold information about family members that is not personal data of the adopted person. That is a consideration in play in head 2 which gives some rationale for the exclusion of some data.
