Section 59: Provision of information by the Council to the Commission

88.Section 59 gives the Council the duty to provide to the Commission information which the Commission may need in order to carry out its functions. But this duty is limited by the Secretary of State having the power to make an order specifying the conditions in which the Council may refuse to provide information to the Commission. If the Council refuses to supply information to the Commission, it must give notice to the Commission explaining why it has reached this decision. The Commission has the power to publish this notice.
