Section 19 - Publication of information about support
118.This section elaborates on the type of provision that the Scottish Ministers may make in relation to payment entitlements under section 15. As with other provisions of this nature in the Act it is not exhaustive, but is intended to provide further clarity. In this case, it is intended to ensure that it is possible to publish details of who receives support (including those who own or control a recipient18), the amount of support received and what it is for. The regulations may impose requirements on people (including the Scottish Ministers) and it is expected this will typically be in connection with the provision of information for publication. However, it may also be used to require rectification of incorrect information that has been published in error.
This will be relevant where there are complex ownership structures such as holding companies or trusts or where a person has significant control over a recipient.
