I thank the minister for that clarification. I want to make clear amendment (7). I note that it states in the explanatory memorandum that it is intended to allow enforcement agencies to access stored communications with the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient. I want to clarify that that is the effect of the wording of the provision. I am not sure whether I have this right, but the wording seems in some cases to have almost the opposite effect, requiring that the sender and the intended recipient must have knowledge. I want to double-check that.
