I move amendment No. 2:



In page 7, line 23, to delete “postcode contractor” and substitute “Data Protection Commissioner”.
We believe the Data Protection Commissioner is the appropriate officer to carry out the work of upholding data protection. Capita, the postcode contractor, is not sufficiently distant from its customers and suppliers who are the most likely offenders and, therefore, we believe it is necessary to change who is responsible. These are simple amendments essentially to change "postcode contractor" to "Data Protection Commissioner", which in our view will give more oversight.
