Identity Documents Bill

I am sorry to interrupt yet again, but paragraph (a) in Amendment 4 states, "““which is relevant to an application by a person (““P””) for a passport””." In other words, it would not include fingerprints or anything which is extraneous to a passport application. I have to admit that I did not draft the amendment, but, on reading it carefully, the reason that I backed it but not Amendment 2 was that Amendment 2 seemed to be a blanket provision for transfer, but Amendment 4 seems to provide for only those things, which would be very few things. It would be a minimal data transfer merely to facilitate the issuing of a passport.
