Coroners and Justice Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman agree with me about how the provisions of proposed new section 50A(4) apply? It requires that the"““sharing of information enabled by the order is necessary to secure a relevant policy objective””," which is, I think, the point that he has made quite strongly. However, it goes on to require that"““the effect of the provision made by the order is proportionate to that policy objective””—" and, and this is my point, that—"““the provision made by the order strikes a fair balance between the public interest and the interests of any person affected by it.””" In other words, the requirement for balance in coming to a conclusion about whether data should be shared is clearly written into the Bill.
