I thank the Minister of State. I note that in the first part of his response he spoke about the double jeopardy syndrome. In the McBrearty case that I cited, the information that was given was used for other reasons, namely, to stop somebody from entering the US. We are trying to say that uses could be made of the data that would be unfair and not what the Minister has envisaged. Although I take on board the Minister of State's reassurances, we believe the amendment would copperfasten this right and therefore we will be pressing the amendment.
