I117General provisions about disclosure of non-food product safety information

1

Nothing in section 14 or 15 limits the circumstances in which information may be disclosed under any other enactment or rule of law.

2

A disclosure under section 14 or 15 does not breach—

a

any obligation of confidence owed by the relevant authority, or

b

any other restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed).

3

Nothing in this section, or in section 14 or 15, authorises a disclosure of information if the disclosure would contravene the data protection legislation (but in determining whether a disclosure would do so, the powers conferred by sections 14(2) and 15(2) are to be taken into account).
