EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide that the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (together, the Funding Councils) may disclose the information listed in regulation 4 about individual students, including individuals who have been students at any time since 1 August 2000, to the Statistics Board (the Board). The Funding Councils may only disclose to the Board information collected by them since 1 August 2000. Regulation 5 provides that the Board may only use that information in order to enable it to produce population statistics; for the making of arrangements for a census that the Board is required to undertake under the Census Act 1920; and for the assessment of the census returns.
Regulations 6 and 7 authorise further disclosure by the Board of personal information which is disclosed to the Board under regulations 3 and 4 in certain circumstances which would otherwise be prohibited by section 47(4) of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (the Act). Regulations 6 and 7 only permit the Board to disclose such personal information to the General Register Office for Scotland and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency and only for the purpose of assisting the Board to produce population statistics under section 20 (production of statistics) of the Act.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
