Section 20 - Processing of information
119.This section provides the Scottish Ministers with the power to make regulations about the processing of information for or in connection with the provision of support (under this Act or otherwise) or the carrying out of functions in relation to CPD. Subsection (2) elaborates on the types of things the Scottish Ministers may make provision about. However, subsection (3) provides that the regulations may not require or authorise the disclosure or use of information which would contravene data protection legislation. Any regulations made under this section are subject to the negative procedure and will only be brought forward after appropriate consultation with, among others with an interest, the Information Commissioner.
