I agree with my colleagues on head 42. The point was well made, so I do no need to make it again. On a point to Mr. Sunderland, I thought the piece on behalf of the Data Protection Commissioner is an excellent technical piece. It contributes enormously to the proposed Bill. If he does not mind, I will not ask him in great detail about it on this occasion. Nonetheless, I wonder how this is not fed into the Department at an earlier stage, or is it? Mr. Sunderland might answer briefly.
