Just briefly, this matter relates to Democrat amendments (10) and (13). The government has not managed to persuade us why we should not continue to support these Democrat amendments. There is a concern here, particularly in relation to amendment (13), that information is managed appropriately, even if it is a belt and braces approach because of the type and style of this legislation. It is really necessary to ensure that the destruction of information can be undertaken and effected at an appropriate time, which is provided for in Democrat amendment (13).

Question negatived.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with amendments; report adopted.
