(a) in exercise of the powers conferred by section 24A of and paragraph 24 of Schedule 1 to the Architects Act 1997;
(b) as the appropriate Minister in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8 and section 9(6) of the Electronic Communications Act 2000; and

In accordance with section 8(3) of the Electronic Communications Act 2000, the Secretary of State considers that the authorisation of the use of electronic communication by these Regulations is such that the extent (if any) to which records of things done for that purpose will be available will be no less satisfactory in cases where use is made of electronic communications than in other cases.
