I will get that clarified. There is no general population use in this regard. With regard to police records, the proposal seeks to establish a procedure for the automated searching of police records but it does not propose a new exchange of data.

I will get something for the Deputy on that.

In terms of the Kyoto Declaration, it is adopting the declaration. It is our commitment to co-operation on tackling crime, so it is quite straightforward.

The third motion is about updating records and the fact there have been changes in nine other member states and the UK has now left. It is about updating those lists. That is essentially what the changes here are about.

I take the Deputy's points on board. I appreciate we are doing three motions where we would normally do one and have more time to discuss one. We will engage with my officials on that. I thank the Deputy for his support.
