Almost every Deputy who spoke on Second Stage of the Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Act 2011, as I remember it, was very concerned about data protection and how it would be enshrined in the Act.

This Bill is the first major change in postal addresses in this State. There is genuine concern that we have to bring in a Bill to amend the Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Act 2011. The public do not seem to be convinced that this Bill will protect data in the way in which it is intended. The Minister should take account of that. We need to have total confidence that any legislation that goes through the House protects the data it covers.
