I might come back on the hauliers issue at a different point.

On data protection, specifying what the information is one part of it but specifying who is accessing the information and for what purposes is the other part. The GDPR is not simply about being clear what the information is but being clear what purposes it is used for and who is accessing it. We might have the same information gathered but the information does not belong to a body. The MIBI may have that information but it does not own it as it is still the information of others. Instead, the bureau has use of that information for certain purposes and that is why I am looking at that little bit of ambiguity. I am happy to engage in between Stages with the Minister because I will be crafting some amendments for Report Stage and do not want to craft any unnecessarily. I am looking for clarity around what is envisaged in that because it is just a little loosely worded at the moment. That is fine. I am sure we will come back to it on Report Stage and I am happy to engage in between if that is useful.
