Level 1 disclosures: review applications

Section 7: Provision of new Level 1 disclosure on conclusion of review proceedings

21.Once Ministers have made their decision under section 6(3), they must provide a new Level 1 disclosure to the applicant. The applicant is treated as having made a new application for a Level 1 disclosure on the date on which Ministers made the decision under section 6(3). If Ministers have determined that information within the Level 1 disclosure is inaccurate they are required under subsection (3) to give effect to that decision by correcting any inaccurate information and ensuring the new Level 1 disclosure contains corrected information.
