Mr. Greenway: I am not a lawyer and the Minister is. My reading of new paragraph 10(1) in clause 9(2) is wholly different from that of the Government. I do not believe for a second that our amendment would have the adverse consequence that he suggests. Given that the Committee wishes to make progress, and that we have made our point, perhaps we can return to the matter on Report. I do not believe his explanation about the head of the household and the ticking of boxes. I am even more confused about wardens of university colleges explaining whether people will have the box ticked or not. I am not sure whether that explanation was entirely accurate.

In the light of what the Minister said earlier about his willingness to accept amendment No. 21, I beg to ask leave to withdraw amendment No. 22.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Amendment made: No. 21, in page 10, line 32, after "which", insert--


"both the full register and".--[Mr. Greenway.]

Amendment proposed: No. 91, in page 10, line 42, at end insert--


"(ab) to supply to any persons registered under the 1998 Data Protection Act copies of the full register and other documents, or prescribed parts of them, on payment of a prescribed fee and for exempt purposes only"--[Mr. Greenway.]

The Committee divided: Ayes 157, Noes 287.
