I turn to my Amendment 108, which has a somewhat different purpose. I have already offered full support for information-sharing because of the benefits that it will bring but we should recognise the need for some limits or some guardrails to the information that bodies are required to share. That is standard practice in other pieces of legislation but currently absent in the Bill. As in other legislation, as the amendment says, information-gathering powers through information or interview notices cannot be used to gather privileged information, whether that be parliamentary or legal professional privilege or the right to be protected from self-incrimination.
