I will also speak briefly to Amendments 82 and 196 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones. He set out in great detail in his speech that removing children from the new provisions that lessen the impact of purpose limitation is an excellent example of circumstances where the principle that children merit specific protection should, in fact, lead to a practical higher level of protection. Again, I would prefer that the Government had dropped purpose limitation provisions altogether but if they are determined to press ahead, we should at least maintain existing standards for children.
