============================================================

We may as well move on to the other sections but it is not really about whether Article 15 will be limited. The question is whether there will be a danger of Article 15 being interpreted in relation to this Act, which is slightly different. There is an Article 15 process but you do not want an Article 15 process which does not look to each data subject access request but in fact looks to a set of guidance from this legislation. I addressed this point in that specific section earlier and I will be coming back to that area on Report Stage. I am extremely concerned by that provision, as I have made clear. I do not need to put forward all of these amendments but I will probably still look for clarification on Article 15. We carry that debate on to Report Stage.
