Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1
The Secretary of State has consulted the Information Commissioner in accordance with sections 25(4)(b) and 67(3)(b) of the Data Protection Act 1998(1).
The Secretary of State has had regard to the desirability of securing that the fees payable to the Information Commissioner are sufficient to offset the expenses mentioned in section 26(2) of that Act(2).
It appears to the Secretary of State that processing of a description set out in regulation 2 of these Regulations is unlikely to prejudice the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
Accordingly, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 17(3), 18(5), 19(4) and 26(1) of that Act(3), makes the following Regulations:
1998 c. 29, as amended by S.I. 2001/3500 and S.I. 2003/1887.
As amended by section 18(4) of, and Schedule 2 to, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (c. 36) and S.I. 2003/1887.
Section 17(3) has been amended by S.I. 2003/1887.
