Amendments Nos. 21 and 30 relate to the issue of necessity and proportionality. One of the core requirements of the GDPR is that sharing be done in a way that is both necessary and proportionate in order that it does not exceed what is required. We debated these two points at such length on the previous Stage that we do not need to go over them again. The Minister of State has indicated progress on the inclusion of the concern of "necessary and proportionate" in the Bill. On that basis, I would like to hear from him before proceeding with these amendments.
