Contribution

Yes, I am happy to take that away. I am aware that, although great strides have been taken in recent years in allowing data sharing to work efficiently across different departments and make sure that people do not keep filling in the same form over and over again, there are still deficiencies in this area. Indeed, the noble Baroness will recall that, when she and I were Members of Parliament many years ago, it seemed virtually impossible that this problem would ever be resolved. We have come a long way in making sure that it works properly now, with the right safeguards in place.
