This section allows local authorities and the Scottish Ministers to share any information obtained by them under Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the 2025 Act for the purpose of assisting the other party in the exercise of the other party’s functions under the Chapter. In doing so, the parties must cooperate to ensure so far as possible that they (collectively) do not make a request more than once in a 12-month period for the same information about the same house (or about the same part of it).
