Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 65 inserts a new section into the Bill, putting beyond doubt that any duty or power in or under the Bill that requires or enables the disclosure or use of information does not operate in contravention of any existing data protection legislation. The amendment doesn't change the effect of the legislation. As I have stated previously, all data used or disclosed under the Bill will remain subject to all relevant existing data protection legislation. This amendment puts that beyond doubt, and also ensures that such powers and duties could not be construed as modifying data protection legislation, and I call on Members to support the amendment.
