I move amendment No. 6:

In page 7, to delete lines 21 to 25 and substitute the following:“ “personal data held in respect of the adopted person” includes personal data relating to the birth, placement for adoption, procurement of adoption or adoption of the adopted person that identifies the adopted person, natural parent or parents or adoptive parent or parents of an adopted person. It also includes, subject to the provisions of this Act, the name (or, if the person has been known during his or her life by more than one name, current and former names), date of birth and contact details of the adopted person and natural parent or parents, where available;”.

This is related to amendment No. 1. It is an expanded definition of personal data held in respect of the adopted person. It is designed in part to make it clear that personal data held in respect of the adopted person include the names, former names and dates of birth of the natural parents for the reasons I have outlined.
