Clause 26
Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill
2:45 pm
Sammy Wilson (East Antrim, DUP)
We are discussing not only documents but records, which I presume could include computer records—perhaps the Minister could clarify that. In the past, the PSNI has found that in some cases it can take up to four or five weeks to get into such records because of firewalls and so on, or the ways in which records are stored. Would the hon. Lady accept that a limit of 48 hours could mean that the people who seize information may not have time even to find out what they have seized?
