Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have the experience of encountering black books with the gate keepers. You will find that the data is, probably, used by people who want to do promotions. You then wonder as to why a gate keeper would demand for your ID and phone numbers. We should restrict the data that we give at that juncture. If you go to the
