The Bill is also explicit, which was not the case in previous iterations, that only financial institutions are in scope. It is clear about the uses of the information gathered under this power. Every new EVN—for example, relating to a different eligibility indicator or benefit type—will be subject to internal checks for Article 8 ECHR compliance before being issued. This will involve ensuring that the EVN complies with the legislation and that any interference with Article 8 is necessary and proportionate for the purpose of helping to identify correct payments.
