May I turn briefly to data sharing, before we move on to what is probably the main issue? Are you happy with the provisions for extensive data sharing? While acknowledging that there is an obvious need to be able to share data, particularly to prevent terrorism, does the scope provided for in the legislation go further than is necessary simply to deal with terrorist cases? It seems to extend into a wider area, particularly when it comes to material that might have been collected by the security services.
