I cannot regard that as a major contribution to the debate.

The hon. Member for Wrexham (Dr. Marek) said that the Bill did not address itself to databases overseas. I think that the Bill does touch on the matter, but the Government rightly believe that if data from overseas are not brought to this country, that is not a matter for this country's legislation. However, if they are, that is a matter of concern.
