I get the point that the Member makes, but why are we bringing in and deploying youth custody and supervision orders then? Why are we setting them at age 14? To use your argument, will you not be compassionate to a 14-year-old, a 15-year-old or a 16-year-old? If we are going to deploy —.

I welcome the chance to introduce this group of amendments. I will begin to speak as Chair of the Committee, and then I will speak to my amendments and make some remarks on the group in a personal capacity. I turn to Committee amendments Nos 41, 42 and 43. During consideration of Part 2 of the Bill, the Committee…

I thank the Minister for giving way. The Minister raises an important point that alludes to what I said earlier. The Department and the Minister have adopted that model and plumped for it, rightly or wrongly. She and I have said that there are no gold standards and no system perfect. She is right in what she says…

I thank the Member for giving way. Before he stops, can he clarify whether, when he talks about a case-by-case basis, he means certain crimes, such as murder compared with manslaughter, or, say, two people have been murdered as opposed to one person? How many culprits are involved? Can he explain what he would use as…

I thank the Member for giving way. Lest there be any misunderstanding, the reason that the Minister is bringing a Bill to put a structure in place for biometrics is the same reason that we, in the Committee, feel that it would be right to have a framework in place so that we can all judge, look at, see and understand…

I thank the Member for giving way because it is a very important issue. The Member states clearly that 75 years is a long time: so it is. However, if he does not like the 75/50/25 model and wants a case-by-case basis, how would that stand up to a challenge? How could a framework be put in place on a case-by-case basis?

I thank the Member for giving way. What might be helpful for the debate is if the Minister could give examples of extreme or exceptional circumstances in which the data would be held after the person is deemed to be innocent.

Thank you for that, Minister. That is basically where I am with Gerry Carroll's amendment. I am grateful for the clarification from the Minister. I do not want to take up any more of the Assembly's time, other than to plead with Members to consider the Committee's amendments in the group. They are sensible and…

I thank the Minister for that intervention. I feel like I am an intermediary between Sinn Féin and the Minister. I will make progress and talk to Sinn Féin's amendments. It is for Sinn Féin to try to sell its amendments to the House, and I will listen attentively when its Members speak to those amendments. It is…

I thank the Member for his contribution, as I thank the Minister and Gerry Carroll for their interventions. This is a really serious topic, so we need to take it very seriously, but, in the first instance, it is about our trying to be human rights-compliant. That is our base — it is what we are trying to do; it is the…

The Member is right with regard to my concerns about what the Coronavirus Act did to our people. I am totally and utterly opposed to digital ID, but I am opposed to those measures because of how our data would and could be used, not necessarily because of the retention of the data. We have been getting fingerprints…

I thank the Minister for that important intervention. I hope that that goes some way to clarify the matter for the Members opposite, and to assuage their concerns. We are in an age when, if you travel —.

I thank the Member for her contribution, because she raises valid points. However, the fact that the PSNI retains a person's biometric data is not a presumption of that person's guilt. There will be data from innocent people in storage, so there should be no —.

The Minister has raised a very important point. The appeals structure should not be just one way but both ways. If someone has their data retained, and they or their family feel that they should not have it retained, there should be procedures in place whereby the PSNI can scrutinise that decision and process it. As…

I thank the Minister for that clarification. I also thank her for clarifying the changes that have been made at this point of which the Committee did not have sight. I accept her explanation about their tidying-up nature. When I read them last week, I was worried that they changed policy in some way, so I am glad that…

I thank the Minister for that intervention. It is important in the debate that we can engage, confirm and clarify things, so I really appreciate the Minister's intervention. I hope that that will give succour to Members with regard to the amendment on the commencement of Part 1. Again, I ask Members to support those…

I thank the Finance Minister for his answer. He outlined the levels of need. What has he actually asked of the Treasury? Can he put a figure on that? Given that he is having difficulty agreeing a Budget with his Executive colleagues, could he release capital to, at least, allow new builds to commence?
